So what I need to do is to assign every player a unique name, rank and update their scores every 10 seconds or something and display their rank among other currently playing on the screen. Its not exactly multiplayer. They will be playing at the same time but the only information I need from them is their score since the 30 minute session has started.
I am not looking for a global leaderboard. Just for the 30 minutes. Whats the best way to do this?
HI,
Not sure if you’ve found your solution, but I was curious on whether you wanted to do this over a socket connection ( more complicated serve/client ), or by justing polling an web api ( less complicated, simple client )?
You could look at both Coronium Cloud and Coronium GS, they can both do what you need, in different ways.
There are posts on both here on the Coronium forums:

Hope some of that can be helpful.

Hi Chris, I would love to use coronium cloud or coronium gs for this but I have no idea how. I have never done anything involving servers before besides parse. I dont understand what socket connections or web apis are.
Can I still learn to use coronium cloud or coronium gs without knowing these things? I should start learning them but dont know where to start. I also dont understand the difference between coronium cloud and coronium gs. Thanks for your help.
