trucidare: Can't you make the thing, so we can download the SDK sperately from the OF server and make the GLBasic specific package smaller?
Would be easer to update OF then, too...

[trucidare]

Update OpenFeint is only copy new OpenFeint into XCode->Glbasic->OpenFeint
Then OpenFeint is the newest.

I can remove OpenFeint from XCode project but you must add it by yourselfe.

Sweet!  So, is there any documentation on how to use it for n00bs?

Well, that part I got, I meant more how to use it within the game -- how to trigger achievements, post high scores, that sort of thing.

[Kitty Hello]

See the functions it exports (I'll make a GBAS wrapper for convenience). It's very easy. You just set up a score table or an achievement, then trigger the GLB_Of_UnlockAchievement(my_id). Totally trivial.

Use at your own risk and give us feedback, helping to improve it.

Hi there,

I am testing OpenFeint (very insteresting), and trying imagine how to works.
I have a few question about the use of the differents commands, so i tell you how i am trying to use and please correct me when wrong.

- At the first of my app, i use GLB_Of_Init, with parameters (third parameter is the name of the app?).
- When i want to use OpenFeint i use GLB_Of_ShowDashboard() then I do a while .. wend loop while GLB_Of_isDashboardClosed() is 0.
- What's the purpose of GLB_Of_isOnline(), check if user in OpenFeint online?
- I can imagine the other commands what are used for.

This is just AWESOME. Thank you!! 

[Kitty Hello]

The "GLB_Of_IsOnline" checks if you're connected. I use that to disable the "OpenFeint" menu button.

ShowDashboard shows the thing. Yes, you oughta IDLE here. We should make that in the library so it's easier to use. But you could fade your screen out while it fades in...

Awesome!  This looks like a piece of cake.  Well, it will be when I get the language down, but I can wrap my head around this quite easily.  Nice.  I was hoping to have OF support out of the gate for my first game.

Hi There,

I was testing OpenFeint last days to include with my next project 'Defeat the Darkness' and i have found the following:

- I noticed some slowdowns after open OpenFeint (from 60 fps to 30 - 40), as trucidare posted.
- I noticed that horizontal resolution for OpenFeint doesn't work ('Defeat the Darkness' is an horizontal game, but when OpenFeint opens, do in Vertical mode). Is there anyway to change orientation?

And as a extra question, i wonder if we can update the OpenFeint version and how?

Thanks in advance.

King Regards, fjsantos.

Orientation come with update.
Slowdown issue not found yet iÃ,´m working on it and next update fix both
