Hey all.
Ok, so my little word game is now being adapted to work online and a part of that is assorted cloud services. Initially it will accept user registrations, then maintain a persistent online high score table (this is already functional code from another game), however what I am working on now is allowing the server to run an online word game to allow battleplay anywhere. However, the server, and indeed all the online aspects of this game, are solely to allow development and refinement of code for Star Captain's online features.
So, as I have to have the server running 24/7 anyway, is there anyone who would like to take advantage of it? The kind of thing it can do is allow a user to create an account, store settings, store save games on the cloud, and obviously a high score table. If anyone is interested I will provide a couple of functions to drop into your code, then from there talk you through setting up your program to allow communication. The server is question is a custom AppGameKit coded one BTW, not a web based one.
As I say, making this offer to aid refinement of the server and not looking for payment or anything....but obviously it wouldn't suit a game with thousands of users! lol.
If anyone is interested, let me know.
