Hi, i have revamped my old JewelDrop Game to A7.

http://www.wasteland.at/JewelDrop.zip
(ca 5MB)


The main focus was not the game, but the online Highscore,
using a HTTP plugin and PHP.

The game itself is a simple Match-3 game.
You can have a look at the code (warning its quite old-scholl c-script)


Wait a few seconds at the beginning, to let the game load the onlinescore.

Once you reached a new score you will be added to the TOP-10 list,
for everone to be celebrated.

ALSO: You can see the 10 most recend games played by other players.


Please have a try, for me to see if it runs stable yet.

7870 Points. That game is funny. ^^

Good,

if anoone has problems with the Highscore, please post.
There might be problems when posting a new score.

(I will remove my high testscores later from the
top-10, was from debugging)

Oh, found a bug when submitting scores, uploading new version

yeah i like it, highscore!

good to see that it works

Good game Damocles
Nothing wrong with the highscore so far.

The highscore system isn't working very well. It took me less than 5 minutes to find the relevant part of your code that submits the data to the server and to abuse it to submit any score (I submitted the "Test 99999" one). The checknum algorithm is way too simple, especially considering that you can access the source code that easily.

Well its open code, so not much of a challange...
Its mainly to show how to realize such a system with
the HTTP plugin.

For a more serious version, I could generate other checksum datas
and have it in a closed code of course.

I will post the php code later in the multiplayer sechtion.

There are many nice applications for php based games.
More than just a highscore.


Peacekeepers HTTP plugin is a really nice basis for that.

The ANet creator will probably post a demo of the paid version.(that also has HTTP support)
The current GSTNet plugin unfortunately crashes on my computer.
(nfs42, could you have a look?)

Ah ok, fair enough then I guess. I just wanted to point that out though in case it was meant to be more serious. Although I suppose it would still be quite interesting to see some more sophisticated approaches.
