ATTENTION: Scoreboard API
You can use this to create and persist a scoreboard for your game.
It's very simple:
-
include a script in your app
<script src="https://scoreboard--amasad.repl.co/scoreboard.js"></script> -
You'll get a global object
scoreboard -
scoreboard.submit\({username: 'playerNameHere', score: numberScoreHere}\) -
List the scoreboard using
scoreboard.list\(\).then\(topTenScores => console.log\(topTenScores\)\)
The script is smart enough to create a board for your game (it's domain-based) so it's very easy to use. End to end example here: https://repl.it/@amasad/scoreboard-example
Here is the source code for the service if anyone is interested https://repl.it/@amasad/scoreboard 😉
You missed a ) at the end of the fourth point
@iamcaleblol: fixed! Thanks
i think is awesome the api was made with GO lang :)
@user23802991: awesome :)
People can hack the scoreboard using the Developer tools (Ctrl + Shift + i) and type scoreboard.submit\({username: 'Their Names', score: 10000000000}\) in the console 😂😂😂
(You can see that I hacked into your scoreboard demo)
@iamcaleblol: Really securing a leaderboard is pretty hard, if you have both front and back totally open source (inclusive the secrets)
@iamcaleblol: lol yes, not sure how we can secure it though. You can do that with Firebase or any other clientside data API. Open to ideas.
If a player wants to submit his score multiple times, how can I make it so it can delete his previous scores?
@iamcaleblol: I made it so that it picks the highest score.
E.g.
- amasad scored 10
- amasad scored 8 (it's still 10 because it's higher)
- amasad scored 12 (it will register 12 because it's the highest)
Does it make sense?
@user23802991: OK Thanks
@iamcaleblol: Let me know if you want to reset the data or delete something and I'll do it for you
wow great assistant to games
HTML5 <crying emoji>
Does this work in just a normal HTML file that you open on your computer?
