iXHighScore on Asset Store - Support Thread

Community Showcases

Hi all,

we are just pleased to announce you our first script package on the Asset store : iXHighScore.

iXHighScore is a complete package that include all you need to install and run your own leaderboard system.
you’ll find a detailled installation manual, all server side scripts, the SQL code for the database and the procedure to install the database on your own server with the Freeware Toad For MySQL 4.5.

What you need is :
A webserver with MySQL 5 and PHP.

You will install the database only once ! The system can be then used for any games you may develop.

So, you’ll have 1 database only but can have several games that use the leaderboard system, with differents mode for each (like easy, normal, hard …)

The available methods are :
(note that for each methods, there is some return value like : “The player already exists in database”, “Cannot retrieve your player rank” …

//ADD a player to the database :
public IEnumerator postPlayerName (string name, string sid, string lang, int sidhash)

//POST a Score to the database
public IEnumerator postPlayerScore (string name, string score, string mode)

//POST information about the player (this increment how much time the player use your game)
public IEnumerator postPlayerCNX (string name)

//Retrieve the GLOBAL TOP 10 of the mode (in parameter)
public IEnumerator getGlobalTOP10 (string mode)

//Retrieve the GLOBAL PLAYER RANK of the mode (in parameter)
public IEnumerator getGlobalPlayerRank (string name, string mode)

//Retrieve the CURRENT TOP 10 of the mode (in parameter)
public IEnumerator getActualTOP10 (string mode)

//Retrieve the CURRENT PLAYER RANK of the mode (in parameter)
public IEnumerator getActualPlayerRank (string name, string mode)

Difference between GLOBAL AND CURRENT IS :
GLOBAL concerns all datas for the mode
CURRENT concerns only daily datas for the mode.

Please find a very basic demo using the iXHighscore component of the asset store:
http://ixgaming.com/UnityDemo/iXHighScore/Webplayer.html

And a new Leaderboard demo : http://ixgaming.com/UnityDemo/iXHighScore/demo2/Webplayer.html
This leaderboard is included from the v1.5.3 of the iXHighscore Leaderboard System.

Note that the game GalaXia on Appstore use the same scoring system.

So, you can now follow us on twitter :

Happy new year 2011.

Love your website too!

  • Edit

Hi thanks sh0v0r for your comment. I really hope this will help many developpers.
Yes this can be used for any platforms, not only IOS like written in the store. ( I have uploaded the description and image but still in review…)
this is not so expensive when you know that once it is installed, you’l reuse it each time with all your next games…

have a nice day.

Sounds very similar to my system that will be out on unityprefabs in a few days. Great minds think alike, no?(not trying to intrude on your script, just saying)
T_T You stole my thunder. Oh well, I’ll get over it. O-o $100 is kind of expensive though isn’t it? XD I say this because I’m the kind of person that doesn’t like paying for anything unless I have to.

I wish you luck with it though. I shouldn’t really comment though as I am a competitor though. Anyway, :slight_smile: Always glad to see another coder around.

:slight_smile:

thanks for your encouragements

Hi devs,

I will decrease the script price in the next days, how much do you think the price should be ?
Please vote something between the following range
5-15$
20-50$
50-90$
90$-110$

thanks for your time.

Hi langju, it would be good if you can demonstrate how it works (video/webplayer) so people know a bit more about what exactly they are purchasing. Most people are using videos to show how easy it is to integrate with a project.

If you take a look at Unity Prefabs or the Asset Store and see what other people are selling their systems for it might give you an idea of what price point you should aim for.

Today I purchased UP’s Notification and Achievement system for $25 each at that price it’s an easy decision for me to make as they will save me allot of time and get allot of reuse.

8

I think that 15-20$ is right price, after all.

I’d change the product name though.

9

Why change the product name ?
About the price we think to reduce it in the 20-40$ range.
So for the video we will see if this can be performed soon.

Thanks again

10

Change product name because it’s so ugly :smile:

11

oh ! :slight_smile:

That’s an easy name, no :wink: ?
Please note, there is an update that should be available very soon with a very discounted price of $20 !

12

Updated now.
The package is available for only 20$ on the AssetStore.

Hi Langju,

I’m curious what type of security you have between the Unity application and the server side scripting. Does the server side scripting confirm the validity of the unity application?

Thanks!

14

there is a secretkey (MD5 hash) between the unity app and the server side. (You define your own secret key in the C# file, and you’ll have to modify it in the php files provided).
So each time you post some data to your server, the code will use your secret key to encrypt data, then in the php script, your data will be decrypted using the same secret key.

Hope this help.

Sounds great. Congratulations on the release, I know many people should find it helpful.
