Corona SDK, OpenFeint SDK and OFX

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi all. I am completely new to Corona SDK and mobile development scene.

Like to ask about OpenFeint as well as OpenFeint SDK and OFX (for those who don’t know, OFX is a new OpenFeint service that allows developers to sell in-app purchases).

I know that Corona has built-in OpenFeint within it. Forgive me if I’m asking some stupid questions as I’m in a lack of understanding here. What I like to know are:

  1. Is the built-in OpenFeint up to date?
  2. If a game using Corona, but didn’t use its built-in OpenFeint, is it possible to somehow use a separate OpenFeint SDK to build leaderboards etc and integrate that into the game?
  3. Is the built-in OpenFeint compatible with OFX?
  4. How does OpenFeint work? As in how are all the leaderboard information stored in OpenFeint’s server, freeing us the need to set up a private server? How about OFX?

Regards

Moved to an appropriate section :wink:

Welcome, Boon!

  1. If you mean does OF in Corona include all current features of OF, then no, sorry.

  2. I’m not sure what you mean by this; could you somehow add OF to a Corona game without using Corona/Lua? No.

  3. No, I’m afraid it is not at this time.

  4. OpenFeint is easy; everything is on OF’s side. You don’t need a server, you only need a few lines of code and a free OF developer account and that’s it.
