With the addition of Pebble Time Round to the Pebble hardware family, the Pebble
|
||
|
SDK now targets a third platform called Chalk. Feature-wise, this new hardware
|
||
|
is very similar to the Basalt platform with one major difference - a new display
|
||
|
with a round shape and increased resolution.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Pebble SDK 3.6 is available to help developers write apps
|
||
|
that are compatible with all hardware platforms. New graphics APIs and UI
|
||
|
component behaviors assist with creating layouts ideally suited for both the
|
||
|
rectangular and round display types.

## New Resources
|
||
|
|
||
|
To get you started, we have updated the following sections of the Pebble
|
||
|
Developer site with new content and information on designing and developing
|
||
|
for the new Pebble hardware platform:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* An updated
|
||
|
[*Hardware Comparison*](/guides/tools-and-resources/hardware-information)
|
||
|
chart - See the hardware differences between all Pebble platforms.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* [*Design in the Round*](/guides/design-and-interaction/in-the-round/) - A new
|
||
|
section of the Design and Interaction guides with design guidance on how to
|
||
|
best take advantage of this new display shape.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* [*Creating Circular Apps*](/guides/user-interfaces/round-app-ui/) - A new
|
||
|
guide describing how to use new graphics APIs and features.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* An updated
|
||
|
[*Building for Every Pebble*](/guides/best-practices/building-for-every-pebble/)
|
||
|
guide - New information added on how to keep apps compatible with all three
|
||
|
Pebble hardware platforms.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* Revised
|
||
|
[*Platform-specific Resources*](/guides/app-resources/platform-specific/)
|
||
|
guide - App resources can now be tagged according to intended usage in more
|
||
|
ways than before to allow tailored resources for different display shapes.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## New Examples
|
||
|
|
||
|
A number of new example apps have been created to help illustrate the round
|
||
|
concept. They are listed below.
