Dear all,
I’m starting to develop a new game with Corona, but it is now the time to add to my app some social scoring system like OpenFeint.
Does anyone one which is the best solution for android devices? I can not get an OpenFeint account and seems that Gree is currently not being supported.
Thanks for your support!
Kind regards

I think OpenFeint is now called Gree, but I’ve been having the same problem ever since Gree. [import]uid: 114389 topic_id: 31695 reply_id: 126618[/import]
I know, it is like there is no solution at all at this time. [import]uid: 112380 topic_id: 31695 reply_id: 126619[/import]
I’ve managed to get Scoreoid and GameMinion working, had to do my own api for scoreoid but gameminion had one out of the box. Neither of them have a nice gui like OpenFeint though, I’d like Corona to address this ASAP. [import]uid: 142130 topic_id: 31695 reply_id: 126637[/import]
@hopkinsp, this is an issue we’ve been contemplating. More and more we are getting requests to have an SDK that provides UI for all the features we have.
I think if this would make the developer’s life easier, then we really need to get it done.
Can anyone interested in this, please email me on mohamed (at) gameminion.com with your feedback, and your requirements.

We are developing a cross platform game (Android and iOS) for a customer. One of the features is a leaderboard system.
We can implement game center for iOS, but what are we to do with the Android version? Is there another leaderboard system supported by Corona?
The current situation is really bad if you are developing cross platform games. Isn’t the Corona SDK suppose to make cross platform development easier? [import]uid: 101722 topic_id: 31695 reply_id: 127316[/import]

That’s what they brag about. [import]uid: 114389 topic_id: 31695 reply_id: 127832[/import]
Compared to writing the app once in Objective C and a 2nd time in Java with two divergent core SDK’s, Corona does make cross-platform easier. A zillion percent easier. But it’s never going to be 100% because the platforms themselves are different. Apple provides leaderboards/achievements, but the other guys don’t. OpenFeint was a nice cross-platform solution for them to use, but that’s no longer an option and there are really no other good choices right now. Having an online service to provide those feature’s is not the business that Corona Labs is in. They either have to have support from the platform or from 3rd party.
Game Minion is a good choice for this, but it doesn’t work with the existing Corona gamecenter type API calls, but they do provide a Lua/Corona module that works with Corona. You should check them out. [import]uid: 19626 topic_id: 31695 reply_id: 127840[/import]
