Documentation for the Game Center API

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

Seriously, where is it? I think it was bundled in the latest release, but where can i go to learn how to use it.

Also. How far advanced is it? When can we expect multiplayer support for it? We are currently building games and we don’t want to spend extra resources on creating a mutant multiplayer feature and have you guys release THE feature days after.

I’m not complaining. I know it takes time, but if you have a time frame maybe, to see if waiting is an option or not. [import]uid: 41025 topic_id: 9182 reply_id: 309182[/import]

With Corona Game Center API, is it possible to show a Leaderboard and Achievement button?

Example:

Basically Game Center is enabled by putting a correctly named plist file (I forget the name off the top of my head) in your project directory and then use OpenFeint. OpenFeint automatically integrates with Game Center when you have the settings file in place.

As for your second question though I haven’t dug into the scores API enough to know. I’d like to know that too, if there is any way we can direct players to Game Center other than my current approach of an alert popup that tells them to use the Game Center app. [import]uid: 12108 topic_id: 9182 reply_id: 37007[/import]

That would be nice to have Game Center buttons for Leaderboards and Achievements.

It seems it shouldn’t be to hard to integrate since it’s already connecting in to Game Center, but then again I guess it’s going through OpenFeint to connect.

IM not sure what i did. but apparently Game Center has been included in my game but users are getting a message stating that it’s not enabled.

Can anyone point me in the right direction or a sample of how to enable this? Heck id be happy if i could remove it…im not sure how it got in there.

Did you enable gamecenter in itunes connect when you set up the app? [import]uid: 13560 topic_id: 9182 reply_id: 37537[/import]

#7

No I did not. [import]uid: 27671 topic_id: 9182 reply_id: 37538[/import]

#8

Is it enabled by default in games? im just confused as to why it’s popping up at all.

Is it included with openfeint? [import]uid: 27671 topic_id: 9182 reply_id: 37539[/import]

#9

When you have set up everything in itunes connect theres a couple of buttons on your app info page, one of them is Mangage GameCenter. Press that button and it will take you through a bunch of steps to get it up and running.

Then I assume you have set up your app with openfeint correctly.

But then theres a problem, I don’t think you are able to access the leaderboards etc through your app by a button call, instead you must go into the GameCenter app to view the stats.

I had to go the GameCenter route to see my app stats.

Thanks lano78

I enabled Game Center and set up a leaderboard. I did not set up achievements though, do I have to?

No, don’t think so. I just set up a few dummy Achievements and a couple of score leaderboards just to test how it works. My set up worked and I can see them in the GC app.

Does anyone have an example what to put in my PLIST file (and where) to get OpenFeint to know which Game Center leaderboard I am talking about?

This could really use some better (any) documentation!

Thanks for any help,

I managed to implement OpenFeint and GameCenter.
And after all I must say it was quite easy.
I just followed the instructions from the OF support pages
http://support.openfeint.com/dev/game-center-compatibility/
Short: Pass the Achievement IDs to Game Center IDs.

To make your app Game Center-ready, you also have to enable Game Center in iTunes Connect. Make sure you build with a provisioning profile that has the same bundle ID as your game.

As simple as it is, I agree that it would be nice to have a step-by-step tutorial on this topic. [import]uid: 70635 topic_id: 9182 reply_id: 41725[/import]
