for example like in candy cush. the person gets 1 life back after every 15mins. even if the game is not running on the phone.

You maybe can host a php script on a website which simple gives you back the time (or use any free ntp service). Before closing the app a timestamp can be stored in the game/app and after opening the ntp server/php script is asked about the time and the difference can be calculated.

That should work but'll need an internet connection.

we did this with ajax call and php.

xanxion well thanx in advance.

Hi akashlakhotia,

Unfurtunatly i dont have the files anymore, but i think rex gave you another solution in another thread?

Good luck!

I looked to see what the forum posting rules were and I couldn't seem to find anything about posting on a post that hasn't had anyone talk in a few months so I decided to post anyway, if it was wrong to do so please let me know.

I think I found the forum post you are talking about located here: plugin-system-date-and-time_t63492?&hilit=clock&start=100. Is this method a way to stop the simple changing the clock way of cheating? After doing some searching I found a few more posts on the forum which talked about fetching the time from a website like time.gov and then having the game figure it out from there. Is that potentially a way to stop the changing the mobile time? Thank you in advance for your help.
