Well I've had quite a lot of messages lately asking for help with online hi-score systems - and it seems people were mainly having problems with setting up their database and getting MMF to work properly with it. Recently, I also purchased VBulletin which is a forum system thing - which you download and install. I was quite impressed by how it created all the database stuff for you - and so I thought maybe it'd be a good idea to do the same thing for an online hi-score system.
The ZIP file (only 15kb!) includes the following files:
- install.php
- scores.php
- submit.php
- config.php
- example.cca
- Readme.html
+ admin
-- delete_scores.php
The install.php file takes you through the process of connecting to your database and setting up your hi-score table. This is obviously were all your scores will be stored and everything..
The scores.php file actually displays your scores. The submit.php file is used to submit scores. A very simple encryption of the name, score and an encryption key will hopefully prevent people from submitting false scores - at least, I've never had a problem with it in the Ectoprod's arcade.
The config.php file contains all your server information - you'll need to edit this. But it's not too hard to understand really. The readme file takes you through the whole process, and I was even kind enough to produce an example file for you! If you don't understand the example file, then you can just copy and paste the frame into your game and edit the strings so that it works with your server.
I'm hoping this will help a few people, and for those who already know how to do it, speed up the process too. It took me about 5 minutes to get a hi-score system set up with this system (not that I'm bragging or anything!  )
Anyway, tell me what you think!
If it's popular and used often then I will be willing to update it by including more security options such as recording IP addresses (and also supporting more than one game). But for now, this is all there is!
Any questions, problems, issues, bugs - please post in the comments here!
Version 1.1 Update
- Fixed some bugs that may occur on certain web servers
Version 1.2 Update
- Admin folder added, with a delete scores script (which allows you to delete scores)
