Title: easiest way to create a highscore list
Post by: MS80 on June 27, 2014, 09:10:24 AM

Hi,
I would like to know what is the easiest way to create a simple highscore list (f.e. with score and player name) for mobile devices (android)?! It should be a highscore list available over the internet, no a local one (with playerprefs).

A few things / questions came to my mind:

1. SQL database: seems to be complicated, extra assets (payed) needed and database has to be created

2. photon cloud: playmaker supports photon cloud, but its not about networking, just storing highscore information, does not know if this is possible with photon cloud?

3. I just own Unity Pro license, no Android Pro (so no socket functions)! is there any possibilty to create a highscore list via internet and playmaker?

Any help welcome! Thanks in advance!

GooglePlay Game Services seems the way to go... (achievements, leaderboard, etc.)!

In the meanwhile I created a mysql-database and got a simple highscore-system working! (now I have minimal webspace & mysql knowledge  ;) )

Good thing is:
- it works on all platforms
- it works cross platforms
- no plugIns etc. needed
- works without Android PRO
