Uploading data to a server

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

So for my app I want to make it so that everyones score gets uploaded to a server ( or idk what it’s supposed to be) and then in my app it shows the total score (of everybody).

So basically I want every time the game is ended the score to be sent somewhere, added to the current total score, and then the app downloads the current total score.

I have no idea how to do that. Do I need my own website? I already have a google site, will that work?

Why don’t you try Open Feint? Or Game Center if you are developing for iOS only

I don’t think there is an option to calculate the total score ( every persons score who ever played the game) [import]uid: 130035 topic_id: 23882 reply_id: 96237[/import]

You’d have to keep a database of all your user’s individual scores on your server so you can total them up.

Sou’d need your own server space with php support to update that total every time someone submits a score. I’m not sure exactly how Google Sites operates but I’d think you’d need to sign up for a hosting plan. Overall not an easy thing to do if you don’t have experience with managing a server.
