Does corona support Apple’s Game Center? If so, is it in the API…I saw Papaya and Open Feint but not Game Center, although I do remember reading that Coro a does support it. If Corona does not support it, will it?
Thanks!

No. Corona does not support Game Center, but both co-founders have promised it is coming and I expect it to be ready soon.
However, there is a way to “link” OpenFeint to GameCenter (see GameNetwork APIs), so that high scores and achievements are passed on. However, this requires you to include OpenFeint with your game and force users to enable it at least locally.
I feel it’s important to separate these two points so that Ansca gets the message loud and clear. Otherwise they’ll keep jumping in and claiming that the above is “Game Center support”.
Oh, and to make it “look” more integrated, you can add a game center button to your game using system.openURL(“gamecenter:”), almost forgot to mention that. [import]uid: 36054 topic_id: 17695 reply_id: 67360[/import]
As blasterv has said, it’s coming.
You can use GameCenter, have achievements and leaderboards, etc - but it must (for now) be done through OpenFeint.
@blasterv - Ansca have the message loud and clear, that’s why it’s being worked on 
Hang in there!

Peach, do you know if game center support wil include the turn based game play API. I know pub nub is available but with game center the service is free. Thanks [import]uid: 8945 topic_id: 17695 reply_id: 67493[/import]
I do not, no. (Not my area.)
However if this is important to you it is worth making a post in the Feature Request sub forum - they may not all get replies but they all get read.

Carlos promised us few words about Game Center today… Still nothing… [import]uid: 12704 topic_id: 17695 reply_id: 72807[/import]
Hey there,
Today was somewhat taken over by “skin-gate”. He’ll be putting up a post on Monday.
Sorry for the hold up!

Is a post about game center coming sometime soon? [import]uid: 44896 topic_id: 17695 reply_id: 73463[/import]
Apparently it is now tomorrow as Carlos has too much to say and needed a little longer to get it all down [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 17695 reply_id: 73474[/import]
Ok, thanks peach. I see the carlos twitter, what time is now on Corona HQ ? He said tuesday morning. [import]uid: 55808 topic_id: 17695 reply_id: 73476[/import]
Waiting for few words about Game Center, push notification, vertex and pixel shaders [import]uid: 12704 topic_id: 17695 reply_id: 73482[/import]
Sure, @gtatarkin
My game is now at 99%. All gamemodes finished, all music and graphics stuff finished and only waiting now for some beta test and this “corona roadmap” to know if Gamecenter will be soon in a daily build (primary) or shaders (secondary) or particle systems.
If gamecenter will come ASAP in this month, i will wait to implement it and upload to App Store. If carlos said not, i will upload the game the next week.
That’s why i’m so interested. [import]uid: 55808 topic_id: 17695 reply_id: 73483[/import]
Show some screenshots men cuz I have a feeling it will kick ass! [import]uid: 12704 topic_id: 17695 reply_id: 73484[/import]
Here is:
I’m uploading now a gameplay video. [import]uid: 55808 topic_id: 17695 reply_id: 73494[/import]
Thanks gtatarkin, video is now up !. Look at the link to show it. [import]uid: 55808 topic_id: 17695 reply_id: 73511[/import]
it would be awesome if we get native particles system, because PC is great, but too much burden for system [import]uid: 16142 topic_id: 17695 reply_id: 73513[/import]
@jose - Unfortunately I am not at Ansca HQ, however I do keep a clock set to that time. It’s currently 7:05 AM.
Here however it is 2 AM and time for bed!
Keep watching Twitter.
