Turn based multiplayer through Facebook. Suggestions for which service to use?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hey guys,

What I’m aiming for:

1: User A logs into Facebook in game

2: User A sends a challenge to a friend (user B) through the Facebook integration. The challenge has between 1kb - 10kb of data (ghost data etc).

3: User B sees a notification on Facebook (or on device notification)

4: User B tries to beat user A’s score. If they are successful, go back to step 1 (with the users reversed).

I had this working years ago with another game and my own database set up, but I’m concerned with data security and spam protection and things like that.

Anyone have any ideas of solution that handles this kind of this?

Thanks,

Rob.

Hi,

You might take a look at Coronium Core. It could handle something like that and is secure as long as you go for the HTTPS route. You can also build custom api endpoints to create a more authoritative environment which can help with cheating and such.

If you’re interested in it, I can talk you through some possible methodologies.

Firebase can do turn base multiplayer pretty well.
