New Openfeint Tutorial

Parts 2 and 3 are as they were but I have rewritten part 1 to work with the newest Corona SDK.

I hope this helps anyone else who was at all confused; I know I was at first - but now I have it working, just wanted to share ^-^; [import]uid: 10144 topic_id: 4598 reply_id: 304598[/import]

thanks, I’ll read this and hopefully it explains things

ADDITION: The top of the page still says “As of December 2010 part 1 of my OpenFeint tutorial is no longer valid. This tutorial will show you how to get OpenFeint working in your iPhone app.” Might want to change that. [import]uid: 12108 topic_id: 4598 reply_id: 14501[/import]

That’s intentional but yes, worded poorly. I’ve just reworded it slightly.

This one replaces that one, but that one is left up. Make sense?

Anyway, I hope it helps :slight_smile: [import]uid: 10144 topic_id: 4598 reply_id: 14505[/import]

I’m wondering about OpenFeint’s startup requirements and hopefully you can answer. Do you have to show the OpenFeint login screen immediately on starting the game?

All the OpenFeint games I’ve seen do that, and I’m wondering if that’s a requirement or just something everyone does because everyone else does it. Personally I’d rather wait to show that screen until the player is actually viewing highscores, rather than hitting them with it immediately as the first thing they see.

I don’t think you have a choice in the matter. That screen comes up when you require OpenFeint. [import]uid: 10835 topic_id: 4598 reply_id: 14508[/import]

Anyone else have this problem where, after clicking to use Openfeint, and then pressing skip when it’s going through whatever loading, OpenFeint doesn’t work afterwards? You can’t even log in later.

Only way to reset it is to reinstall the app.

Actually – maybe the server is just slow/down. [import]uid: 11024 topic_id: 4598 reply_id: 14521[/import]

Finnk - do you have an OpenFeint button as well?

I have always wanted OF at the start of the app so I can’t answer the other question; it just made sense to me to get it done and not have it come up again, personally. [import]uid: 10144 topic_id: 4598 reply_id: 14542[/import]

I was specifically referring to the dash that appears after start up. It asks if you want these “awesome features” or not. If I click I do, it begins doing something, but if I press skip while it’s doing it, it funks up.

After that it always says it can’t log in and there’s no way to log in again unless I reinstall the app.

Also I recently created a LITE version of an app on the new version of Corona and it got rejected by Apple citing that the program took too long to boot up. Runs fine on my own device, except for the weird lag caused by Openfeint. No idea what’s up with that. [import]uid: 11024 topic_id: 4598 reply_id: 14549[/import]
