So it seems like a common feature of a lot of iPhone games is that when you get a particularly high score, you can hit a button and it will post your score onto your Facebook wall.

Does anyone have an idea of whether this is functionality that is possible in DBpro? I vaguely recall reading somewhere that Facebook interacts with certain apps via HTTP calls, so perhaps that is possible, but has anyone ever gotten it working?

Most apps use the Facebook API (application programming interface). This makes several calls that are done using higher level languages (i.e. Java, C++, C# even). Unfortunately (to my knowledge) no such plugin exists for Dark Basic Pro. But of course you could simply send FTP data to your website, then have it upload the score of that player and then use PHP/Javascript to post that score to facebook with the API.

That's an interesting way of doing it... Hmm...
