   I did not implement cocoslive in my game yet, but I wanted to have the ability to maintain all-time scores and today's highest score which would reset once a day. I think this is a feature that would keep people playing as they attempt to crack the daily top scorers list.

   I agree.
   It's not as easy as it seems to implement that in Google App Engine, but it's not impossible.
   It's on the to-do list, but I can't give any release date.

   If I finish my game before then, I can volunteer to work on it. It's python? I use python at work ... when I have to :)

   Yes, it's in python.
   you can find the source code here:

   I agree, this would be a great feature to have. Glad to hear it's on your to-do list, Riq.

   riq - I just started looking at this tonight. I think the functionality for high score of the day is already available in cocoslive:
   

   typedef enum {
   	kQueryIgnore = 0,
   	kQueryDay = 1,
   	kQueryWeek = 2,
   	kQueryMonth = 3,
   	kQueryAllTime = 4,
   } tQueryType;

   Default is kQueryAllTime.

   In the cocoslivetest call it like this and you have the top scores for the day:
   [request requestScores:kQueryDay limit:15 offset:0 flags:flags category:cat];

   Does that actually work? I was under the impression that the foundation code for the client (iphone) side has been laid out but the server does not actually handle everything yet.

   I remember reading the comments in the CocosLive example that other than All Time, none of the other requests will work. Didn't bother testing because of that.

   I'll test it out tomorrow hopefully. It worked within the cocoslivetest but that may not go against a live server? I tested by adding 3 scores, then changing the code as mentioned above and then build/go. Only the 3 scores I added showed up. One local, two global.

   yes, at the moment only the "all time" works.

    I noticed this was posted 3 months ago from now:
    Do these features work now?

    Nope, I don't think there's been much changes to CocosLive. If there's anyone good with Python who's also interested in helping out on it, riq and all of us would probably appreciate it :p

    Depending on the scope of your game, an all time feature may just be enough. If you need more, then there's more options available out there for you.

    yes, patches are very welcome! :-)

    remember that the server is open source too:
