  Hey, sorry for the delay. I have been a bit busy.

  You can access the DynamoDB or RDS from either Java, PHP, Python type languages. There is usually a driver library that you can import that contains the protocols necessary to talk to the database over the internet or local network.

  For our game, we use PostgreSQL RDS and use the JDBC in Java to talk to it. If you are already familiar with a language, just search for the driver library for it. If you are starting fresh, PHP is the easiest to learn followed by Python, then Java. Each successive language is more powerful though, so it depends on how much capability you need.

  There might be a JavaScript library to access the database directly from Construct, but that is generally not a good idea for security reasons. It is better to have a server-side program in between the database and your client (the Construct).

  What is 'all'? You can make a global variable for each score. Or you can make a dictionary and just store the scores under keys like: "score1", "score2", etc.

  Yea, the LocalStorage should work fine. Or even a dictionary or global variable.

  Or is it a multiplayer game?

  Try exporting with nw.js. That should create an executable. Beyond that my knowledge ends though. Browser security exists to prevent exactly what you are trying to do though.

• Try Construct 3

  Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  Well if it were an easy, "This is how you do it." someone else would have answered already. It's not, so I asked clarifying questions to get at exactly what you want so that I can help you rather than sending you down a rabbit hole.

  Lat. and Long. are not in meters. They are in degrees or other units.

  You cannot connect to an http server using web sockets. You have to connect via the ws or wss protocol.

  This line of code:

  var socket = io.connect("http://localhost:8080");

  Is absurd and will never work. Don't believe me though, I have a working websocket server/client.

  You are trying to connect using HTTP. You need to use WS like:

  ws://server-ip/socket.io/i

  Do you mind if people can hack your scores?

  Why are you opening executable files in your browser?

  Does it scroll infinitely? If so, it is still doable, but you have to jump through more hoops to make it happen nicely.

  Creating/destroying is one way to do it. You can also move the object off-screen or change the visibility/opacity.

  You can try having a host player hosted on your server, then just have both players connect to that host peer.

  You use HTTP GET or POST requests to transfer information using AJAX.

  Are you in control of your server code? If your GET request works, but your POST does not, then I would look at the server side code for your POST requests.

  I use Java servlets to handle GET and POST requests to my server, and it goes something like this:

  or

  Yea, like EA's Dragon Age: Inquisition can be hacked in that way too.
