Game app high scores

Morning all.
I have a game app called Blitz. (It is a version of Bejewelled.) Every week, my high score sets reset to zero. Fair enough ... except no-one else's does. The same other high scores are there week after week, month after month. Now, I think it unlikely that on every reset Splork gets exactly 365,050 again and Wall-nut gets exactly 151,350, etc, etc, so I can only assume they are not being reset.
And my question is ... why would this be? I am mystified.

I'm not near the top score, so I can't think they think I'm cheating.
I am connected up properly. My scores get recorded fine. Then, once a week, it says "time for a new high score" or something similar and the next game I play gets shown as my highest. Then, through the week, I improve on this (or not, depending), and then it all happens again. But everyone else's scores just stay there.
The only explanation I can think of is that none of the others on the leader board have played again since recording their last score. Maybe as soon as they do, their old score will go.

Do games store high scores?

Do the new games that can be purchased save high scores? Or is everything lost when you close the game like the free games that come with the ipod.

I'm pretty sure that they're saved. At least in Mahjong it saves the games so that you can come back to it later. Not sure if it shows the scores though.

Online high score list

Hi guys,
I was wondering how I could implement a high score list into a java applet game i wrote. The logic isnt what im worried about, its writing to a file that is on a server that i dont own. It's my school's webspace...do i have access to do this?
If I dont have access, how would I do this, there are tons of online games with high score lists, so how do they do it?
Appreciate the help,
Brian

Only you would know if you have the permission to do this!. BTW you cannot write to a file from an Applet unless it is signed.
What I would do if I wanted to do this is, Create a webpage that has access to write to a file or database, then inside my applet use a HttpURLConnection to call this webpage with the paramaters passed along the query line:

I have a really high score on a game app on the ipad 2 ... Can I sync or transfer ONLY that game to my ipad 3 somehow ???

I have a really high score on a game app on my ipad 2 ... I want to sync, or transfer, or move somehow, the app with the high score to my ipad 3... Can I do it without syncing the whole ipad?? Or is there another way to get the game app to my "3" ???

You would need to backup your data to iTunes or iCloud and then restore from backup on the iPad 3. Content should reside on your computer or you can reload apps from the cloud. I don't believe you can just restore one app

I bought a new Iphone 4s and when I sync my apps over I lost all of my high scores. How can I get back my high scores as I do not want to start all over on some of the games

I bought the new Iphone 4s. I backed up my old 3gs on Itunes store before trading in my old Iphone. I sync my new phone and I have all of my apps but non of the high scores. For example I played all of the angry birds and had three stars on all levels. Now I have the app on my Iphone but I am back no levels completed. How do I fix this problem. My Itunes store is on a PC running Windows 7

Under the answer you want to mark as correct you should see a box that says Correct with a green symbol to the left and a box with Helpful with an orange star to the left. Click on the one you want.
And thanks for thinking about that, it is appreciated.

Hosting a server for simple game related info, rankings, high scores, etc.

I have a quick question about servers. I want to implement a ranking system for one of my games, the server would store player high scores and world rankings based on their score and perhaps other fairly easy stuff. Writing the server and communicating from
it with the app is the easy part in my mind, ive done it numerious times for personal projects (Like a Raspberry PI based quadrocopter i wrote). My question is this. If i wrote the server where do i host it? How do people typically host their servers that
are simple like this? Do they get a static ip address and host it from a extra computer in there homes? Im not talking about big corporations like microsoft that have large server centers, just individual developers like me. Any thoughts?
thank you for your time.

Yes, the server app runs on the machine it is hosted on.
See http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/services/mobile-services/ to get started with Azure Mobile Services.
If you want to write a web service yourself from scratch you'll need to pick your technology and look for documentation there. It's off topic in this forum, but check out http://www.asp.net/get-started and the http://forums.asp.net/ forums for asp.net.

Lost apps records/high scores

Hello.
I have synced my ipod touch with my library and retained all music and apps with no problem. However, the apps have reverted back to the original start point as if they were just purchased and all my records/high scores have been lost. Is there a way of retrieving these scores? Please help.
Thanks

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I have chganged my computer for syncing, but my apps from the ipod were backed up on to a memory stick before transferring the purchased apps to my library. I then checked that all my aps were there before syncing. I also needed to download the latest version from apple which took a few hours. Once this was completed, my ipod was connected for syncing which seemed to be fine. On opening my favourite game app, I noticed my scores were reverted back to zero!? Any further advice would be appreciated. Thanks

HT4314 Temple Run 2, high score of 156 mil deleted from Game Center

As the title describes, I last night got a high score of 156 million in Temple Run 2 and when I checked Game Center today, the game listed me as never having made a single run, and that I didn't have any score at all (my previous high score was 115 million which was on Game Center but is now also gone). I have played the game quite a bit and have completed all achievements except for the 10 million meter one.
Does anyone have some thoughts on this?

Yes, it's still listed within the app. It's only on Game Center that my scores are missing.

Can two players use the same game app without erasing each other's scores?

Can two players use the same game app on the same device without erasing each other's scores? My two sons build up their characters and progress in their games, then the other one wants to play, erasing the first son's progress.
Is it possible to create two player identities in the Game Center?
Is it possible to have two different Apple User ID accounts on the same device? Is that even desirable?
Many thanks!

You can create as many individual user accounts on a Mac as you like. Then, any one or more of those users can remotely log in from another Mac and use that Mac as their own, simultaneously. Each account will remain separate from all others.
However, since each user needs to have a Mac to do that, I'm not sure how you could effectively double the number of users as you describe.

Flash Game High Scores Board

Hello everyone,
I know this is a subject that gets covered a lot as i have found a ton of tutorials that show a million dfferent ways to create a high scores board on a flash game. So i decided to go out on a limb and pick a tutorial out to try. Well I have now tried 3 different ones and have yet to get a working high scores board with my game.
http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Games/How_to_c-Nick_Kuh-771/index.php
That is the link to the most recent attempts to creat my high scores board. When i finished everything the way the tutorial said it seemed like everything would work and then it just didnt. After spending oh about 40 plus hours trying to make a high scores board i am getting very frustrated. My game is scripted in AS2 and i have access to mysql and can set up unlimited databases.
Can anyone please help me by sending an easy to follow tutorial that will work with AS2? I would just like any kind of help right now as I feel ALL of my valid ideas have been ehausted. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!

Okay not a problem.
This is my code on the very first frame of the game that initializes the the highscores.php script
command = "init";
_root.loadVariables("highscores.php?"+int(Math.random()*100000), "POST");
This is the code that I have on a submit button, next to the input text box where the user enters their name for the scoreboard.
on (release) {
if(name ne ""){
command = "update";
_root.loadVariables("highscores.php?"+int(Math.random()*100000), "POST");
gotoAndStop ("highScores");
In every place the code says _root. I have also tried this. and neither of them work. I have also tried a million other things. So far the game plays through, goes to the game over screen where it asks for a user name and tells them their score. Then once they press submit the game goes to the highScores screen but the name and score are not there. The high scores screen cosists of 2 dynamic text fields one named "players" and one named "scores". I hope this helps because I spent another 5 or so hours after my initial posts trying more tutorials with still no luck. (the problem i am having is that i am new to flash, however not to PHP)

Can I publish two versions of a game app?

Hi,
Im going to publish a game app which allows players to share content (high scores) on their favorite SNS.
Most of the time, it would be only facebook, but as the game is expected to be accessible in China, and that Facebook isn't allowed in this country, I would have multiple builds including one with a different social connectivity.
My question then is to know if I can publish two versions, one in english, and one in chinese?
I was thinking about using Openfeint but it seems that we can't share content on facebook (at least it is not working for me)
Maybe there is another solution using something similar.
Thank a lot for you help.
Cheers

HT4009 Hi I purchased a game app for my daughter (6 years) and noticed 2 charges of £20.98 off this app she doesn't know and I don't know what this is for as it was a free app.

Hi I purchased a game app for my daughter (6 years old ) littlest pet shop and been charged for 2 bills of £20.98 she doesn't know and I don't know how this has happened as it was a free app ?

Hi
Alot of free apps offer in app purchases which has probably happened here, things for extra points scores etc etc are offered for prices which is how the app can afford to be free via the charge in other purchases within the game.
These are the sorts on in app purchases in littlest pet shop may have been one of these?
If you are 100% sure that no purchse was made get in touch with apple they should be able to tell you what was purchased and when then you can take it from there?
Hope this helps

How can you get back a lost high score after a partial sync?

I was playing a Temple Run game, which I was currently getting a high score on, when I plugged it into my computer to charge. Since it was the first time I had plugged it in, the Mac asked me to do some stuff. After my iPod started to sync, everything was fine. I then had to leave, so I ejected it and left. It kept syncing until I was out of the wi-fi range and down the road. I go into Temple Run, and find my game I was playing gone. The coins weren't added, and the high score wasn't even updated. When I came home, I tried syncing it again, and the info still didn't come back. Is is possible to regain the data back? I just really want the 7 million high score back...

Try restoring from backup. If yu did not backup since you messed up, restoring from backup should get you back to when the backup was made. Got to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPod...syncing" otherwise when you connect, a backup will be made that does not contain the info you want.

Keeping a high score

I'm not sure whether to put this topic here or on the game section, so forgive me if it's not supposed to be here. Just like the title says, I'd like to keep simply one high score. I'd like to write it into a file (along with the name of the person who holds the high score). I simply do not know what to do, I will post what I have so far (it's just a piece of a bigger class):
public void openFile(){
          BufferedReader file;
          try
               file = new BufferedReader (new FileReader ("data.dat"));
          catch (FileNotFoundException e)
               System.out.println("File not found.");
          try
               int highCombo = file.read();
               if(MovingBar.p1Hits > highCombo && MovingBar.p1Hits > MovingBar.p2Hits){
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Congratulations! Player 1 has beat the high score of " + highCombo + " hits with " + MovingBar.p1Hits + " hits!", "Congratulations!", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
                    String name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter your name:");
               if(MovingBar.p2Hits > highCombo && MovingBar.p2Hits > MovingBar.p1Hits){
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Congratulations! Player 2 has beat the high score of " + highCombo + " hits with " + MovingBar.p2Hits + " hits!", "Congratulations!", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
                    String name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter your name:");
     }I know there are a lot of random pieces of info, but more importantly, MovingBar.p#Hits is a variable in another class which I want to keep as a high score if it is one. highCombo is the current high score (hopefully read from the file data.dat which is simply a text file). I pretty much scrounged this code up from random places so I really dunno exactly what I'm doing. Also, I realize that I'm missing something from the last "try" statement and I don't know what to put. I'm sorry if this is confusing and amateur, but I really need some help. Thanks in advanced.

Hi
Create one class that want to be Serializable and implements the Serializable interface on it, then you can serialize the Whole object at once..........
// Write to disk with FileOutputStream
FileOutputStream f_out = new
     FileOutputStream("myobject.data");
// Write object with ObjectOutputStream
ObjectOutputStream obj_out = new
     ObjectOutputStream (f_out);
// Write object out to disk
obj_out.writeObject ( myObject )
// Read from disk using FileInputStream
FileInputStream f_in = new
     FileInputStream("myobject.data");
// Read object using ObjectInputStream
ObjectInputStream obj_in =
     new ObjectInputStream (f_in);
// Read an object
Object obj = obj_in.readObject();
