Are there any updates on when we can expect the future updates? Especially the opponent push notifications, as that’s quite a big feature any turn based game needs.
Bump… Can anyone else who has downloaded the template shed any light on this for me? I’m sure I’ve just missed something obvious… Cheers
Dave,
Apologies for the delay in replying. The house move is still proving to be a bloody nightmare, with solicitors who think the carrier pigeon is an advanced communication technique.
Anyway, the intended usage as it stands is that you would re-skin the template, and then ‘bolt-on’ your game using the example game as a guide. The readme file should explain how things work and what can easily be changed to store data related to your particular game.
It is possible to do it the other way round and fit the engine to an existing game with its own data structure, by requiring the ‘parse’ and ‘f’ files and editing them to fit your database structure, but this will obviously take longer.
By trying to be a all-in-one solution for those who wouldn’t necessarily know where to start on a turn-based game, including signup, login, database structure, game matching & tracking, data upload & download etc, it obviously has to sacrifice an element of freedom and portability.

Hey Nick,
Thanks for the reply… they like to take their time over things dont they… more billable hours ;)
I have managed to have a bit more of a play with your template and kind of answered my own question before you replied. I am from a database background so i (wrongly) assumed that I first needed to set up the ‘database tables’ or ‘classes’ as parse calls them via the web interface. Only once they were set up could I then ‘insert’ the data i.e. game details, etc.
What I didn’t realise is that you can just create all your data structure in corona (as you are doing) and then when you POST it up parse, it automagically creates the ‘tables / classes’ itself which is actually really good…
After registering a dummy user I saw it appear in the web interface at parse. I can also see that you have used the built in user class but added a few extra columns like coins, experience etc…
Sorry if I wasted your time mate and thanks again!
cheers 
Any updates to this especially the addition of chat etc??
thanks.

So I guess we can go ahead and assume this project is now dead? The developer hasn’t bothered to post anything about it for over 3 months.
If so, at the very least, the part about upcoming updates should be removed.
