Create something like Draw something or Wordfeud (How to handle the information in database)

Hi. If you look at games like Wordfeud, Draw Something and Rumble, one thing they have in common is that you play versus friends on all the 3 games.

In every round you gain points and a lot of other information is somewhere stored and sent every minute.

I wonder what YOU would do if you did a game like this in Corona? How would you fix a database to handle information?

I am overall interested in creating an app using corona sdk but it would be a app where the players can play versus their friends, which i guess needs more aspects than just a normal game.

Is it possible to do in corona?

I’m actually working on something very similar :slight_smile: keep a look out for my new release! [import]uid: 29181 topic_id: 23934 reply_id: 96479[/import]

One way (might not be the best way) would be to pass everything to a server and all the database side of things is handled on the server.

So you would not only be creating the app, you would also need to code something on the server using PHP/MySQL (or whatever language you know) for handling requests from the app.

This is a good read -
