API QUESTION - please HELP!

Im working on a game for a client of mine whom is also working with a MySQL developer.

The MySQL developer is setting up a server with a table in which I need to read/write variables to.

They want the table on the server side so that the client can modify the table easily,

without the need to mess with the C2 game-side of things.

Basically, I need to read write data like the name of the player, their score, how many times they've played, among other data that can be updated dynamically on the server side,

but used to populate questions on the C2 side of things.

I am look for help in knowing what the BEST method would be to do this?

which objects best fit my scenarios needs?

⦁ AJAX?

⦁ JSON?

⦁ ARRAY?

⦁ DICTIONARY?

Any help you could throw my way would be GREATLY appreciated!

many thanks in advance!

looking at several 3rd party tools

I do not know enough to make an educated decision.

between these which do you think would best serve a bullet proof IAP/Leaderboard service:

http://clay.io/

http://biz.turbulenz.com/developers

http://api.shephertz.com/cloudapidocs/download.php

and of course...

https://www.ludei.com/cocoonjs/

any thoughts on which is a better path for monetization & leaderboard capabilities?

thats not very promising. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad">

are there other tools that are more reliable and have a better track record?

...Setting up a site wouldn't take much (a couple of days to start) and grow from there to meet whatever needs you had, then you need to write the game to use the data...Hope that helps.

bsimser :

THANK YOU for your thorough reply, its VERY much appreciated.

You mentioned a couple days set up time for the server query service.

Interest?

Is this something you think you could handle?

And if/so would there be any interest in working on something together?

**budgeted of course.*** Shoot me some numbers by PM if interested

about me:

Im an artist/animator turned game dev only thanks to C2's help

( i can PM you some links of some games i've put together)

but when it comes to things like backend like MSQL, & such, Im quite humbled on how much i have to learn.

more help welcome!

Anyone else is also welcome to shoot me some numbers,

as I have a client that I would be creating the games for,

and they may be interested in having a 'team' divy up the responsibilities (front end & back end)

Thanks in advance!

the problem is the 'how to'

Im basically looking into a 'best practice' for this type of scenario

or at least point me in the right direction of how to set up a database that the game can access

when given user input by the teacher/parent

many thanks again in advance

Carlos

mahmoudtokura

did you find anything?

please share if you did!

thanks

dmurphy

just to be sure i understood correctly. (c2 newbie)

This means the user will have the entire app and its just based on the global variable if its a trial or purchased?

and how is this global variable stored if its purchased?

thanks in advance
