Compare and post score online?

#1 TGB doesn't have a whole lot of networking and I know little of even that, however, I am very interested in how this would be done. It seems like there are two main "tasks".

1. You need is a small program which runs on your "server" just waiting for score submittions and score list requests. I don't know enough about TGB networking to know if this "could" be written in TGB but it could be written in just C++ or C# probably.

2. You need to be able to submit scores and get the online scores list from within your game.

The logic of maintaining a sorted highscore list is not that difficult, but maybe someone else knows more about TGB networking, like establishing a connection with another computer, sending data, listening for a connection, recieving data?

#2 That would be a great problem. I learn to program (and I'm no an expert) with flash, using AS.... and then I jump into Torque (using TGB), and if I had to use C++.... I thing I can't start to forget that scoring list for now :(

#3 This is doable in script.... try searching up "HTTPObject" and/or "TCPObject"... This link might help.

#4 Thanks Matthew,

I read the link and it seems a little bit confusing because it is pretty new for me. But for sure I will try it... and i will keep posting for help ;)

You can create an online ranking on any php server with MySQL. Though you'll need to figure out yourself the php part.
