Integrating Game Center To Your Mobile Application

Hello,

Is there a proper way to integrate game center into your game? Where would you add the game center symbol? Pause button, game over screen?

Also, where can I find out how to implement it? Is there a step to step tutorial?

Thanks!

I put links to leader-boards & achievements on my main menu and game over screen. 

I didn’t find it too complicated to integrate though the API documents & sample app. All I mainly do is unlock achievements and post high-scores. 

Michael,

Glitch Games has been kind enough to share some code snippets on the ‘Code Share’ section here on Corona site.  The file he posted is GGGameCenter.lua

Check that out. It is a very useful bit of code that you add to your code to implement the interaction with Game Center.   You can decide where in the flow of your app that the player would be accessing the game center, by calling the functions from the GGGameCenter.lua file at that point in your code.

You do however, need to get game center boards setup on your iTunes site.  There is a fairly decent bit of information on Apple Developer site that will walk you thru those steps.

Hope this helps.
