Save / Load high score online
Hello Everyone, Am currently in the ending phase of finishing my "first" game, and in the moment all that is left to do is do the final touch on some elements and create a HighScore board, since i am going to post the game on Kongregate.com, i was planning that using their API will not be a hard task, but it seems that it has some problem which i post it here in their forum, however, am not here to ask about how to use Kong's API, i actually want to know how to do such thing alone ? and i think a public file in dropBox should do the job since i will limit the score board to only 100 entry (maybe less) but i actually don't know where to start on this, so, please feel free to post any information :)
thank you very much
I think that you are too vague here, there is no really a question. I recommend you to post in the forum.
I might be wrong, but how exactly would you edit the file on dropBox? I'm not too familiar with it, but you wouldn't want the file to be public since everyone could just edit it, no? And I have no idea how you would go about restricting edit rights to it without tying it to some API / account. (please correct me if I'm wrong , because this sounds like a interesting topic)
I'd say that the easiest would be to set up a little script and file on some server where the script handles the file adjustments. Depending on how tolerant you are you could have have the script/site handle the new score and add it or also do some sanity checks to make sure that nobody is trying to add some fake score.
Doesn't $$anonymous$$ongregate use its own API in games for score and achievements?
Hello everyone, sorry for the long delay to reply, i was busy trying to find a solution for this "problem" and it seems that scoreiod is the answer, i took a little time to get used to it in the beginning specially if you never used XML before (like me) but it's nothing too fancy in a couple of days (1->2 hours/day) i managed to make an in-game score function that allow people to save their score and entering their own name and also show an in-game leader board, you can play my game on kongregate and test the result by yourself
