Hi guys, i'm new here!!!\o

So... That is my first time with agk, i will use to make a school game project, but i don't know if agk has some support for database. In my game project, i will need create a form to register users and your points, a lists of the best players and things like that. Can someone help me?

I would like even more if someone can post some pdf files, or tutorial showing how to use database with agk.

You can't use a database directly with AppGameKit, there are no DB functions. But there are other alternatives.

For a local high score list (up to 100 entries or so), you can save them in a text file, and load them into an array.

For global high scores, you would use the HTTP commands to send and retrieve them from a web server. You then use PHP and MySQL to manage the scores on the server.

Just a sidenote (and sidetip), when choosing to go for the web approach, consider using a well renowned framework (especially if you are considering using php). Personally I recommend laravel, its a really awesome framework and by using it or any other established software you steer clear of any risks by opening your web server to malicious attacks (like SQL injection)
