Create my own ranking

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hi,

I would like to create a ranking by city and to be able to give players information like the median or the average score.

Has anyone already created a database for rankings and linked it to a mobile app?

You will probably want/need your own server for that. Should be easy enough once you can do the programming yourself.

I use coronium core for this

Hi,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I am totally new to server programming and I’m a bit lost… I’m not sure how to proceed and where to begin…

What shall I do first and what should I learn since I’ve never used anything other than LUA and Corona?

Hi, then coronium core is a good start. I began with lua and corona 14 months ago and it really helps that with coronium core you can program serversude in lua, just like in corona.

Just search for coronium core on this forum. There is even a trial version available now.

Just make sure that what you aim to achieve is worth the extra effort.

Hope it works out for you :+1:

Check out the Google Play Game Services plugin. It’s the easiest and fastest way to create leaderboards. It has some limitations though when comparing to a custom server

Hi,

I would like would like to have both iPhone users to compare their scores with Android phone users, and Google Play Game Services plugin does not allow that…

I watched the videos on develephant github page and I begin to understand better!

However, regarding the trial version, is it the AWS free tier EC2 instance mentioned there ( https://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/71279-coronium-core-new-friction-less-install-and-free-trial/ )?

Thats exactly what using a 3rd party service or own server is for. I dont know about amazon. I use digital ocean and the smallest droplet that set me back 5 dollars per month, which is well worth it

Thanks for your reply, I begin to work on it now and I will only be able to work on it again in 5 months so I would have liked to begin with a free version (if it is possible).
