Hi Chris,
It's for a racing game we're building for an exhibition stand. There's 2 games and the client wants a shared high score table with simple 3 letter input. We guess the easiest way to do this is that they both point to a remote php file somewhere (there's web access for both machines) - rather than messing around with local servers. We've also got a few other PHP projects that might need a look at going forward.
Cheers,
Jan

Hello Jan,

That sounds rather interesting, could you perhaps divulge as to what the game is being written in?

Will the score information be posted to PHP via your game, or will a module need to be added by the winning bidder to integrate the game with the Score Board?

Hi James,
It's for a racing game written un Unity 3D posting to PHP - the high score table could be a simple xml that the game picks up
Hope this helps,
Jan

So the game will send (http post) the initials+score to a web page,
and that page then displays the current high-score table.

You are not concerned with checking for duplicate initials, nor ability to reset the scoreboard?

Will you want the provider (me) to host the web page?

As it's for an exhibition we're not worried about the need to re-set everything for this version. Ditto for duplicate initals.
We would host everyhting.

Hi Jan

Am I right in thinking that there the following two parts to this? The game calls a URL (eg, store.php), passing the individual game scores, and this stores that game's results in a MySQL table. And at another point the game calls another URL (eg, results.php) to receive an XML table back, with the contents of that MySQL table in, ie, the combined high scores table.

Thanks
Chris

sounds about right to us - we've found in the past that XML works fine. thanks

Dear Jan,

I am not a graphic designer. Would you be able to supply a design or some graphics to indicate how you would want the final page to appear?

Regards Giles.

No need for graphic design, we just need an xml page delivered in the right format. thanks jan

So I'm assuming you're wanting someone to use php to render an existing mysql db of scores to html.

Beyond that are there any special sorting/searching requirements (I dunno say high scores for particular game environment)? And what about the html display itself - is it basic or does it need to be pretty?

Cheers
