- Be ready for when the user uses the charms!Use the share charm to connect with other gamers, social media, or friends and let them share their latest high score or achievement.You can also use the search charm. Common scenarios in which to use the search charm include: finding a friend that is also playing the game, find a username on a leaderboard, or find a specific level in a game with many levels.Use the settings charms to allow the user to turn on/off music or sound, or to change their resolution, visual quality, etc…The ability to stream video and music to devices also exists with PlayTo. Stream to other Windows 8 devices, XBOX, etc.To access files on the users machine, you will need to setup a contract using what is called FilePicker.We’ll get into these in more detail later (Day 2).
