OpenFeint and iPad not working... is it time for "Game Center" *update*

[Leginus]

The crystal sdk is pushed by chillingo, so if anyone is lucky enough to get picked up by chillingo then this is what they would insist on......and I suspect you would be too rich to worry at that point

[Wampus]

Hmm. Picked by Chillingo?

I've given them my email address for the priority list and been told they'll contact me soon. So I guess they pick who they want to allow to use Chillingo from their list and everyone else gets turned away. Reminds me of going to nightclubs in London. 

For the time being, with getting OpenFeint (or GameCenter) working again with GLBasic, is there anything I can do? Is there anything we can all do? I have time to burn this week and I need something to take my mind off how depressing the news is.

Hi Trucidare....
Any news about the wrapper?? 
Thanks....

[Millerszone]

I found this web site that tells you how to integrate Game Center. The problem is, it's
for a different programming language, but it shouldn't to hard to make it work with GLBasic
since most of the code and instructions are listed on the web site.

It looks like we'll need a wrapper. Any volunteers? 

I'll try to make a wrapper in my spare time, it might take a while since I never
made one before.

Game Center instructions and code:

Looks easy to do. Same as the OF wrapper and just ask for help when you need it.

What do you mean by 'spare time'? Do you code in glb or obj professionally?

By 'spare time', I mean after I finish finalizing my game 'Hit the Deck' baseball
and submit to apple sometime next week.

So, basically the 'Game Center' wrapper should be something like 'trucidare' OpenFeint Wrapper,
but will have to use these commands?
- authenticateGameCenter(); 
- closeGameCenter(); 
- reportGameCenterScore(score%,category%); 
- unlockGameCenterAchievement(achievementID%); 
- showGameCenterLeaderboard(); 
- showGameCenterAchievements();

Okay...you are half way there. Now just reuse the OpenF delegate.m objc functions with the GameC code to match the parameters!

Thanks matchy, I'll work on it later this week.

[Millerszone]

Before I go any further, can someone check to see if I'm going in the right direction
with the code below, or am I still missing a lot of the code.

Thank you.

Yes and they should match the delegate external methods.

Well I'm only down to 3 errors. I'll check the delegate external methods.
I'll have to continue tomorrow.

Xcode errors:

I've been busy, so lately I haven't worked on game center. It's still on my list of
things to do.
