Online Scoreboard?

Any ideas on how to create an online scoreboard for games, similar to the leaderboards found in the Geometry Wars mobile and other similar games?

You could either use Openfeint or use my highscore list code in the code section.

Another somewhat related question: does Monkey allow us to write any persistent information to the device that will remain accessible between game loads?

I will definitely look at your high score list code, thanks very much indeed.

LoadState and SaveState are what you're looking for. You can serialize your stuff and save/load it as a string. :)

Is there nothing the magic lamp cannot do? Other than function pointers and resolution switching on the fly of course?

there are many ways to achieve function pointers, one being reflection

Oh I know. Overall, as I have said elsewhere, I am very impressed with Monkey.

I will look into SaveState.

I asked a question about SaveState a while ago. Aman posted some code to demonstrate how it works. Heres the link:
