Generic Score system for Unity & Node for use with https://generic-scores.glitch.me/

README.md

generic-scores

A simple high-score table with a database

Go to this Glitch.com project and select the "Remix on Glitch 🎤" option in the fish menu to set up the database & website server

Include ScorePoster.cs anywhere in your Unity project

Make sure to update the url and game key to point to your Glitch project

Do GenericScores.ScorePoster.PostScore(nickname, score) to post a score to the high-score table If you want to run some code when the request to the server has gone through, do it like this instead:

await GenericScores.ScorePoster.PostScore(nickname, score).ContinueWith((task)=>{
  // The server has finished
  // task.Result contains the response from the server
  // It should be { message: "success" } if all has gone well
});

You can use the TestPostScores.cs script as a basis for your own code

        public static string postroute = "addScore";
        // Use the game key you set in the .env file on glitch.com.
        // It looks something like: aJrdV9!t34
        public static string gamekey; 

        public static async Task<string> PostScore(string nickname, int score){
            var values = new Dictionary<string, string>
            {
                { "nickname", nickname },
                { "score", score.ToString() },
                { "gamekey", gamekey }
            };
        
            var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(values);
            var response = await client.PostAsync(
                baseurl+postroute,
                content
            );

            var responseString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
            return responseString;
        }
    }
}
