Forums → Programming Forum → Highscore board?

Well, i think armor games actually has one. ArmorBot i believe it is called.

[url]http://www.armorbot.com/[/url]

i got some info from a reliable source and found this:

Let's see its actionscript:
PLAIN TEXT
ACTIONSCRIPT:

1.
var send_score:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
2.
onMouseDown = function () {
3.
points = Math.floor(Math.random()*1000);
4.
_root.score.text = "Your last score: "+points;
5.
send_score.send("hall_of_fame", "compare_scores", points);
6.
};

Line 1: Creation of the LocalConnection variable called send_score

Lines 2-4: Your game script here... score is saved in a variable called points

Line 5: Sending the score. How?

send calls the compare_scores method (the second parameter) on a connection opened with the LocalConnection.connect command we will insert into our leaderboard file. The name of the connection is the first parameter (hall_of_fame) while the score is passed as 3rd parameter, where I pass the points variable

That's all. This means I only have to add 2 lines to my game: line 1 with for the connection, and line 5 to send the score

The leaderboard

This is a very very complex leaderboard that will save only the highest score. Come on, what's the meaning of being 42,455th...
PLAIN TEXT
ACTIONSCRIPT:

1.
var get_score:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
2.
best_score = 0;
3.
get_score.connect("hall_of_fame"
4.
get_score.compare_scores = function(points):Void {
5.
if (points>best_score) {
6.
_root.score.text = "Highest score: "+points;
7.
best_score = points;
8.
}
9.
};

Line 1: Same thing the first line of the game, but the variable here is named get_score

Line 2: Initializing the score to zero.

Line 3: Connecting to the hall_of_fame connection created at line 5 of the game

Line 4: Creation of the compare_scores method passed as the 2nd parameter at line 5 of the game. Look how I pass the score as points variable

Lines 5-8: Creation of the leaderboard

Hope i could help!

Thanks once again for the help!
