Whats the best networking I could get with TGB?

#1 You wouldn't need "real-time" networking for a high-score board. All you would need to do is post it to your database server. How "real-time" do you need it? Do you need fast-action ghosted multiplayer?

#2 Well Im new to networking so? I guess I would try to do internet score board like some flash games. I talked to this one guy that made multiplayer games and he said he used an IP address or somthing.

#3 I'd recommend creating an in-game high-score list first. That way you know what data it consists of so you can effectively design reporting to a database server down the road for online high-scores.

#4 I do Have a high scores behavior from the Asteriods Game I got that to work.

#5 For an internet high score table, you'll need the Torque Pro version, the HTTPObject, a web site, and passing knowledge of PHP.

1) Modify the source code of HTTPObject.cc with the changes found in this resource. This allow you to put a '&' into the URI's without them turning into escaped characters.

2) Write a PHP (or other) script on your web site. It should take, at a minimum, 2 parameters: the player's name and their score. There are a lot of great PHP sites out there that will show you how to parse parameters and how to interface with a database on your web site.

3) Add code similar to the following to your game:

%w = new HTTPObject();
  %w.post( "yoursite.com:80", 
           "/scriptLocation/scriptName.php",
           "score=" @ $PLAYER_SCORE TAB 
           "name=" @ $PLAYER_NAME,
           "" );

The "TAB" added to the string becomes the '&' with the source code modifications from step (1).

#6 Ok, I don't have pro so that answers that. Is there a way to let ppl that play the game when their is an Update like after a month of playing you could right a message that apperas in the corner. That says updat 0.60 is out?

#7 There are several ways to do this, but yes, you can.

For example, I've used the HTTPObject and have a PHP script on my site that just returns the current version number from a database. (You'll have to research HTTPObject and look at the onLine function.)
