i've made a game with savable highscore

The game saves the highscore using a phpscript which saves the persons points and initials to the highscore-file.
This way you don't need a signed applet to write to files on web using saveStrings() and such.
If anybody has any questions on how to do this, i'll be happy to help out..

I like the graphics a lot :] especially the planets.
I don't like the controls so much. And I don't really get the point of the game, but I know you're trying to demonstrate saving data from p5 to server.
Mind if we see the source? I'm interested to see how you did this

I was trying to make a small, fun game.. which happens to include saving data 
but no, i'm sorry.. can't give the source..
it's a product for sale, so the best i can do is give you my explanation for any questions you might have, and perhaps bits and pieces of the code..

Hi seltar,
fun but difficult game. Have you thought to implement curvilinear trajectories?
I have a question for you: in order to allow exchange of data between the applet and the phpscript are you using php global variables?
Looking through the lifevslife sourcecode i saw how that applet saves and loads data from a server. It uses the p5 command loadStrings addressed to a phpscript. The exchange of data happens by means of php global variables. Here is an example of code:
Code:
String lines[] = loadStrings("http://www.someurl.com/somescript.php?somestring="+somep5string);

I've already implemented this very simple way to exchange data between an applet and a script. Nevertheless, in order to avoid security problems, now i'm looking for another way. I would like to avoid to use global variables.
Best Regards,
Marcello

Hehe, i know the game is a bit hard..
I'm thinking of ways to increase the playability with it.. so there will probably be new versions out at some point in time.
Over to your question, i believe this function might satisfy your needs:
Code:
void postNewItem (String S) {
try {
URL url;
URLConnection urlConn;
DataOutputStream dos;
DataInputStream dis;
url = new URL("http://" + strURL + "/simulate/statscapture.php");
urlConn = url.openConnection();
urlConn.setDoInput(true);
urlConn.setDoOutput(true);
urlConn.setUseCaches(false);
urlConn.setRequestProperty ("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
dos = new DataOutputStream (urlConn.getOutputStream());
String message=S;
dos.writeBytes(message);
dos.flush();
dos.close();
// the server responds by saying
// "SUCCESS" or "FAILURE"
//todo next 3 undo
dis = new DataInputStream(urlConn.getInputStream());
String s =""; // = dis.readLine();
dis.close();
if (s.equals("SUCCESS")) {
; } else {
;
}
} // end of "try"
catch (MalformedURLException mue) {
;
}
catch (IOException ioe) {
;
}
} // end of postNewItem() method

Found it on this forum:Processing <-> PHP <-> MySQL
Hope this helps..
In my game, i unfortunately use globals, since i didn't find this post until now.. 
So please let me know if you get this to work, and how to add multiple fields in the function..

Yes,
i already knew that thread: i started it
The problem is that i have very little time to work on these things and to post in this forum so my progress are usually very slow. Now I'm going to post a question in that thread.
Best Regards,
Marcello

Dynamic function that POSTS multiple data to a dynamic php-script, and writes info to textfile
http://wliia.org/projects/postit/
think source code speaks for itself, and if it doesn't just drop me a line..
