    Problem Description

    Are there going to be guides about these features? Like how to install/integrate these systems in our custom cocos2d-x game?
    Is it worth writing a very own highscore/achievement/leveling system? Or just get along with these Android/iOS stuffs?

    Hello

    It is on our list of tasks to do. There is so much we want to do. We are looking into creating videos for the UK school curriculum aswell so busy busy busy.

    Regarding creating your own:

    • Highscore system you will obviously need an internal method but using online service to store is best
    • Achievements there is no point as the online version is robust and great
    • Leveling is the same as highscore so you need an internal system along with online usage.

    Feel free to ask any other questions you may have.

    Clear. But what about the different operating systems? I mean if I make games with cocos, I have to take care about Android and WP and iOS as well. How do I integrate all of them in the same project? I imagine it in a huge if-else statement but it would be too simple I guess...

    Regarding operating systems.

     

    iOS and Android are the most important and you can use Google Play on both which is what we are using for Glo Breaker v2 which is in review ATM.

    Yes there will be if statements involved especially if you want to support WP. We find that games have reduced funcitonality on certain platforms such as WP.

    // if statements everywhere :D
    if (gameIsEpic)
    {
    $$$$$$$$
    }
    else
    {
    :(
    }

    I’ve started working on a guide for Google Play Services including achievements and leaderboards. The android set up will come first possibly in the next week closely followed by the iOS set up.
