Leaderboard data question

General (non-technical) Testing Forum for Moderators / Admins

I have a few questions regarding leaderboards…

  1. How many scores are stored for each leaderboard?  If the game is played by 10,000 people (for example), are there 10,000 scores saved?

  2. When calling getLeaderboardScores, how many scores are returned?  Is there a way to limit the number (say, top 100 scores)?

  3.  Is there a way to just return an individual player’s score and position in the leaderboard?

thanks!

All good questions, let me ping the Cloud team.

Hi,

  1. Every user will have  single score, so you are correct in your assumption, if you have 10,000 users, and one leaderboard, the maximum possible scores recorded would be 10,000.

  2. The current implementation of leaderboards will return every 25 scores at once. We have advanced leaderboard enhancements planned; which we will roll out in due time.

3.Currently we don’t provide the facility to just pull one score.

If I can ask you to please head over to http://feedback.coronalabs.com/forums/190942-corona-cloud-feature-requests-feedback and add these feature requests, this was we can track them and prioritize them.

Thanks

Mohamed, Rob,

Thanks for checking into this and providing info.  I appreciate the details.

I will submit the feature requests as well.

If I am correct in my assumption, if I wanted a list of top 100 scores, I would call getLeaderboardScores 4 times, and save the results in my listener?

thanks
