Hi all,
I currently have a script that posts a score to an online highscore system passing over the players name and players score. The problem I have is that if two people with the same name submit a score, the higher score will always be taken rather than having two separate scores.
Is there a way to get some form of unique ID per potential player that persists or is generated identically each time they start the game?
For example I play my game on Monday, my ID is 1334.
My highscore then shows:
ID 1334 Martin 10,000
Another guy called Martin plays 5 minutes later on a different machine and scores 9000 so the highscore looks like this:
ID 1334 Martin 10,000
ID **** Martin 9,000
EDIT: I’ve got a feeling this may involve writing to some form of config file, but any other ideas would be grand
