Turn-based game
« on: October 03, 2013, 06:36:41 AM »
Hi,

I've been researching how I might create a new mode for my current game, a turn-based head to head mode. What I need to be able to do is send a set of variables to a server or to the web. Some people suggest Photon can handle this but I cant see how without a lot of hacks. Easy2Save can save data to the web!

My question is, is Easy2save a good avenue to look into for saving data to the web and other players being able to access it. ie. Player one creates a game with player 2 and creates a file? database entry? with both Facebook IDs. When the players connect it will check the database for their IDs and match or something ......

Any ideas?

I realize Gamecenter has a turn-based system BUT Facebook friends is a better method to challenge friends.

Hi,

 yes, you can use easy2save to do that, you would need to wrapp it into a meanigfull database, like having a proper unique identifier for each game sessions.

 Bye,

 Jean
