Please, a question about the "future" feature of GameCenter

First of all, i want to congratulations all the Corona SDK team. The work behind this project is awesome and they bring to us a very easy solution to deploy effective apps easily that i love.

This post is because we know the corona sdk team is working hard to bring us a native GameCenter solution for our games.

But before release this feature, i want to ask if they will extend the native gamecenter to add more features than actual gamenetwork solution for openfeint

For example. I imagine we will start gamecenter with something like:

gameNetwork.init( “gamecenter” , xxx)

So i will expose my question with some examples

Push Panic

You can see your live rank in the leaderboards meanwhile youre playing the arcade game. (For example, youre now the #1444 on the world)

So maybe a:

gamenetwork.request("ShowRankFromScore", score, LeaderBoardID, .. )  

Also doodle jump had something like this, but with names

So maybe something like

local name = gamenetwork.request("ShowNameFromScore", score, LeaderBoardID, .. )  

Jetpack Joyride

You can see your friends score at the beginning of the game

So maybe something like

local friendstable={}  
friendstable = gamenetwork.request("ShowFriendsScore", LeaderboardID)   

World of Goo

This game had a interesting feature in Goo corporation. You can see your friends distance and also the friend country flag. I dont know it’s some kind of blob, but is cool

Other

Also native URLlink to the app (for the typical free game “Buy full version”) and native link to gamecenter to show leaderboards like now in openfeint.

So my question is this: Corona SDK team is looking at this features for the future release of the GameCenter API?.

Thanks if some Corona Staff helps me in this question. Sorry if my english is no good to explain it.

Your English is good, don’t worry :slight_smile:

For your questions, I cannot answer them today - however on Monday Carlos will be making a post that will include some info on GameCenter; hopefully that will answer a lot of this.
