Mobile game leaderboard

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hello community!

I was wondering if there is some good and quality tutorial that shows how to create own mobile game leaderboard and implement it to a original game code? Leaderboard should be based on facebook friends but it is not that important, I would be satisfied with a standard leaderboard too.

Currently, I’m coding a game using Corona SDK even I know that isn’t so important to make a leaderboard because leaderboard should be made using php/html/mysql stuff so that’s what I’m looking for.

If anyone has some good explanations or tutorials or anything similar, please share because I really need it.

Thanks!

P.S.: I have already tried this solution (http://ideveloper.kodingen.com/2010/facebook-friends-leaderboard/) but can’t make it work (maybe because it’s too old and some things’ve changed).

 

 

  • I have already read some answers to similar topics here like some solution:

* Facebook Score API for Facebook users (device independent)

* Google Play Game Services for Android (and perhaps iOS too?)

* Game Center for iOS

 

…however, I would like some better and more detailed explanation about FACEBOOK SCORE API…

Is there a reason you did a strike out on GPGS and Game Center?

#3

yes, because I target facebook leaderboard primary…

So: How to integrate game score with facebook score api that is going to show whole ranking list? I already know how to post score on facebook like wall post, but dont now how to integrate it with facebook score api.
I would like to do something just like this:

Is there any solution or alternative?

To my limited knowledge you need to look at Facebook Open Graph API for this type of posting. You’ll need to get the Access Token and then check out the syntax on this page:

On a side note, Corona Labs recently partnered with Carrot as a third-party plug-in that appears to handle this without the hassle - however it is paid-for service.
