i posted this at itch then thought to post here since it's AppGameKit (classic)-specific and figured someone might have already solved:
Quote: "
this jam game saves high scores on some machines and not others via a cookie. i expect it's a permission issue but i've added "itch.io" and the full game url to the whitelist on various browsers to no avail. any suggestions?

i get the same behavior on other html games i've published here, as well.

thanks for looking!

I believe this could be due to a Cross-site cookie issue, it appears that SameSite=None; Secure attribute is required now when setting cookies.

https://hacks.mozilla.org/2020/08/changes-to-samesite-cookie-behavior/

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Set-Cookie/SameSite

https://web.dev/samesite-cookie-recipes/

Itch.io use an IFRAME so that could be causing the problem, to be honest, i've only just found out about this, so it's an interesting
issue you raised.

I tested your game via https://v6p9d9t4.ssl.hwcdn.net/html/2709328/index.html - without IFRAME

then tested;

https://virtual-nomad.itch.io/p3 - with IFRAME

The p3scores cookie was saved with values 5000|4000|3000|2000|1000 without issue without the IFRAME, but was not saved when the game is called from the IFRAME.

You should be able to enable this behaviour in most browsers. If you use Chrome, you can type in chrome://flags/ in the address bar and I think you enable SameSite by default cookies
and Cookies without SameSite must be secure

If you find out any other info, workarounds etc.. Please post back, I'd like to learn more about this.

I'm not sure if you can set it from javascript, but a possible solution could be something like this:

If you look in HTML5Core.cpp, you may be able to add SameSite=None; Secure to the end of document.cookie, then rebuild agktier2.



OR manually edit AGKPlayer.js and find:



Replace with:



I'm not so sure that will work.

running it "direct" via https://v6p9d9t4.ssl.hwcdn.net/html/2709328/index.html & it did save, as you said. and, searching "cookie" @ itch provided the same insight offered above.

meanwhile, i'm on Edge atm and whitelisting itch.io + 3rd party cookies + the same for hwcdn.net didn't resolve saves from within the iframe/at itch.io like i'd hoped. and, i can't see a SameSite setting anywhere but will continue the hunt!

thanks pointing me in the right direction, tboy.

I've created a little test https://tvault.itch.io/test2 uses SameSite=None; Secure

and

https://tvault.itch.io/test3 not use SameSite=None; Secure

It creates a basic canvas with "Hello, World" and creates a highscores cookie set to 100

setting document.cookie = "highscores=100; SameSite=None; Secure"; seems to do the trick.



I've also set chrome://flags/ to defaults, so no special options have been set.

is that something we can insert into the AGK-generated HTML file somewhere?


and, forgive my HTML ignorance but would:



not set highscores to 100 each time it loads?

and, i'm assuming we could access (variable name) "highscores" via Save/LoadSharedVariable ?

thanks agan.

It really needs to be changed in the main AppGameKit sourcecode so everyone can benefit from the changes.

If you consider HTML5Core.cpp in AGKTier2, you'll need to edit:



I know someone figured out how to run javascript code from their HTML5 project from Tier1, but as previously suggested it needs to be changed at the source.

If you're willing to provide me with your project media folder and bytecode.byc I could try and build a WebAssembly
version on my PI4 with the suggested changes and find out if it works.

I've change HTML5Core.cpp to:



Adding SameSite=None Secure allows you to set and get the cookie on itch.io

Demo: https://tvault.itch.io/cookie

Tier2 code:


If you edit AGKPlayer.js and search for document.cookie=cookieName+"="+cookieValue+";"+expires+";path=/"

Change:

document.cookie=cookieName+"="+cookieValue+";"+expires+";path=/"

to

document.cookie=cookieName+"="+cookieValue+";"+expires+";path=/; SameSite=None; Secure"

It should solve your issue.

Your game:

https://tvault.itch.io/test-game

I can't get true type fonts displaying at the moment, there seems to be a problem with shooting bullets, triple shoot instead of single shot, but I will look into it.

Quote: " triple shoot"

i had updated the source "devlog" notes to advise that i had tinkered with the idea of power-ups after the jam so the triple shot is intentional (and easy enough to return back to single).

otherwise, with vanilla Classic/Studio, if i alter the .JS as mentioned above, it should work? or, do i have re-compile the player? IE, HTML5Core.cpp, (while i have 0 tier-2 experience).

Ah! That's fine then, I thought the triple shoot was an issue my-side, no problem.

I just thought if you change AGKPlayer.js with the suggested change it will get you up and running asap.

Edit the player that you uploaded with the game and see if it has the desired result.

On the Pi version, there is only one entry document.cookie=cookieName+"="+cookieValue+";"+expires+";path=/"

then change to:

document.cookie=cookieName+"="+cookieValue+";"+expires+";path=/; SameSite=None; Secure"

Did you get it working?

I once tried using a MySQL highscore table from itch.io but I think itch was blocking the request, it worked fine on desktop, mobile and my own server as soon as it went up to itch it stopped working

The suggested change seems to work, I uploaded Virtual Nomad's game on my Itch.io page and the cookies saved via the IFRAME.

I've only tested on Chromium and Firefox.

this does seem to have resolved the issue (tested on Edge). thanks, tboy!!

Thanks to tboy for posting this and thanks to Virtual Nomad for providing the link to this thread. I have used this to save the game statistics in my html5 games. I initially had a syntax error and had to delete the last quotation mark i.e

document.cookie=cookieName+"="+cookieValue+";"+expires+";path=/; SameSite=None; Secure""

to

document.cookie=cookieName+"="+cookieValue+";"+expires+";path=/; SameSite=None; Secure"

@zaxxan,

that last quote (") is from me quoting tboy. i removed the formatting so its a simple copy/paste line, now.

and, who do i have to pay to change their avatar to avoid confusion, for me. you or hosch?

that is, unless, you 2 are actually twins. then, i expect its something i'll have to contend with (forever)

either way, yall know you can attach an image to a post and then use that image URL in your Pofile's "Custom Avatar" field, right?

there are so many stock avs on the forum ATM... and, we're too creative for that!

I'll change mine, I never really liked it anyway! But I don't have one to upload at the moment so I'll change it to another stock one
