Hey !

My game is now almost finished and so it's time to look for a online and local highscore tool who could be implemented in my App. I found OpenFeint, but the problem is that I don't want to create challenges, so I think it's overkill to use it, and I want even less my customers to create an account to be able to share their scores. I want a doodle-jump like highscore service who can be easily implemented in my app and who ask for a facebook account to share scores online. Any ideas of what I am searching for ?

Thanks for your help in advance,
Best regards

While OpenFeint might sound overkill, in my opinion its pretty simple to integrate and is a lot less painful than trying to make your own score engine (including local saving, menus, FB integration etc.)

It is simple to implement for me too, I already tried it, but it's very instrusive, and I want to custom it totally, while it's not possible...

It's true it is intrusive, that's why I didn't use it in the first version of my game, but nowadays the situation has changed and many players are used to or even expect OpenFeint in a game.

It's also pretty customizable I believe, see this blog post:

Thanks, I'll customize by myself OpenFeint. but I got one problem, when I launch my app, there is an alert who appears saying :

OpenFeint Developer Warning : OpenFeint 2.5 and greater requires an offline config. You can download an offline config from your app page in the developer dashboard.

So, I downloaded the .xml file, but I don't know where to put it, any ideas ?

Thanks in advance for your help !

Just put it in your resource folder.

Thanks ! The UIAlertView disappeared, and my app works perfectly ! But don't you have some tutorials to unlock achievements ? I created my achievements on the OpenFeint website, but how to unlock them in XCode ?

Thanks in advance ;)

[OFAchievementService unlockAchievement:achievement];

achievement is a NSString object that contains the unique identifier that OpenFeint assigns to your achievement when you set it up.

Thanks for your help ! @Sabshire I did this, but I think I need to import something more to use it because there is none error and it doesn't work… And the "secret" box of my achievements aren't checked but I still can't see my achievements in the OpenFeint view, I can't click on the "achievements" button… Is it normal ? I precise that it isn't online yet, just offline. Are the achievements available just online ?

Thanks in advance for your help :)

Achievments are available offline, but you have to redownload / add the offline xml after you add them to the site.

1. Add achievments on the OpenFeint website.
2. Download the offline xml from the site.
3. Add the xml to your resource folder.
4. Unlock the Achievment.
5. ???
6. Profit ! ;)

Okey so I just did it and there is one error : "OFAchievementService was not declared in this scope". Any ideas to resolve this ?

Thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate !

Did you write

#import "OFAchievmentService.h

at the beginning of the document?

Yes, but when I import it, there is no errors but the achievements are still not available. And when I don't do it, there is this error and the achievements are not available. May I do something else to init the achievements ?

I haven't used OpenFeint in a while, but I think that has to do with importing. On the top of my hat its these
```
#import "OFAchievementService.h"
#import "OFAchievement.h"
```

Did you do all steps in "Readme.txt" in the OpenFeint folder?

I initialized OpenFeint in my HelloWorldScene.mm file and I am trying to unlock achievements in the GamePlay.mm file, may I do something more than importing OFAchievementService.h and OFAchievement.h in the Gameplay.mm file ?

Here is my initialization in the HelloWorldScene.mm file.

// OpenFeint
NSDictionary* settings = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[NSNumber numberWithInt:UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait], OpenFeintSettingDashboardOrientation, [NSNumber numberWithBool:YES],

 OpenFeintSettingDisableUserGeneratedContent, nil];

ofDelegate = [GagoFallingOFDelegate new];

OFDelegatesContainer* delegates = [OFDelegatesContainer containerWithOpenFeintDelegate:ofDelegate];

[OpenFeint initializeWithProductKey:@"<blabla>"

				  andSecret:@"<blabla>"

				 andDisplayName:@"blabla"

				andSettings:settings    // see OpenFeintSettings.h

			   andDelegates:delegates]; // see OFDelegatesContainer.h

Thanks a lot for your help !

Absolutely! You need to import these files everywhere you need them unless the ".mm" file has another ".h" file which has them included.

Kinda missunderstood your point. So why exactly it fails? Is there an error, a message or something like that? My crystal ball is out of work, sorry.

There is none errors, this is the real problem ! So I copied/pasted this part of code in my ".mm" file, and the debugger told me that initializing OF two times is not allowed...

Could you consult OpenFeint? Maybe your Account wasn't set up correctly.

Well, I cracked my head, I became crazy because of OpenFeint so I deleted all that fucking stuff and then I re-initialized it. Now, it works perfectly. Thanks a lot for your help, paule ! ;)
