Is it possible to grab a users device id as a way of creating a user id or do I have to create my own method of giving each user their own id?
Also is it possible find out if a user is an openFeint user and what their openFeint id is?

Yes you can I have see it before somewhere in the forums, but beware if I recall correctly there was a problem with getting the device id on tablets.

You can’t grab their OpenFeint ID but you can get device ID - however as Apple is phasing out device IDs you would be much better off using your own system.

Thanks Peach. So there isn’t anyway to tell OpenFeint users? I was asking about OpenFeint ids for including determining whether or not I initialize OpenFeint when they open the app. It is very annoying to non OpenFeint users, because when initialized OpenFeint opens its window every time and asks user to sign up. Where as registered OpenFeint users get the nice small notification at the bottom of the screen that they are logged in and they don’t leave the app to OpenFeint whenever it starts to load.

How about this.
On initial startup of your game you require the user to create a “UserName” + password
You store a list of usernames used on your server (along with corresponding passwords) then every-time a new user attempts to create an account you check there requested username vs the list of usernames taken on your server and the job is done [import]uid: 84637 topic_id: 18411 reply_id: 70904[/import]
