To ensure your game works correctly on TV platforms, it must meet the following requirements:

- The game uses the full screen area and supports full-screen mode.
- The game supports navigation through interactive elements using TV remote buttons.
- The game handles the **Back** and **OK** buttons on the TV remote.



## TV remote control {#remote-control}

The plugin provides the following for interacting with remote buttons:

- Condition **TV Remote button pressed**: True if the selected button is currently held down.
- Trigger **On TV Remote button press**: Triggered when the player presses the specified button.
- Trigger **On TV Remote button release**: Triggered when the player releases the specified button.

All these visual blocks can be assigned buttons from the list: **Up**, **Down**, **Left**, **Right**, and **OK**.

This allows you to implement TV control support without worrying about platform specifics.

## `HISTORY_BACK` and `EXIT`&nbsp;events {#events}

The `HISTORY_BACK` event can be triggered in various ways: by pressing the **Back** button on the TV remote, voice commands, or gestures.

Key **Back** button behaviors in game context:

- Pressed in the game's start menu: Shows a confirmation window to exit the game.
- Pressed during gameplay: Pauses the game and opens the game menu.
- Double-pressed during gameplay: Shows a confirmation window to exit the game.

The **On History Back event** condition in the plugin handles the `HISTORY_BACK` event.

To exit the game, use **Dispatch event** with the `EXIT` parameter.

## TV remote emulator {#tv-remote-emulator}

The plugin includes a built-in TV remote emulator that can be activated by pressing the **F6** key to simplify game testing.

{% note info %}

The remote emulator works only in preview mode. It will not function in the release build.
