Is there a way to get and store data to the google app engine datastore? Any info on this will be very helpful as I’m looking to store global high scores. In the past I’ve used google app engine with app inventor which in turn made the process a walk in the park. I’m currently scratching my head over this problem so if anyone knows or has had some exprience with this I will be very grateful.
It’s going to boil down to writing a http get/post handler in app engine that parses the parameters and inserts them into the data store. Then in unity you can issue a WWW request with the parameters.
That’s the simplest form. Completely unsecured and open for abuse.
For the pro touch, you would get the users google auth token and then use that to authenticate with your appengine backend to get a session cookie. I managed to get that just about working using this Accessing authenticated Google App Engine services from a .NET CF client « dale lane, unfortunately I had to use a different http class in order to be able to pull the cookie out of the response Entity Crisis: UnityWeb - A WWW Alternative.
Or you could save yourself the pain and integrate OpenFeint!
