Jayenkai	Created : 22 August 2008 Edited : 02 October 2008 Online Highscores How they work, and how to work them.
To create an online scoreboard for your own games. Step 1. Create a scoreboard. Click here, stick in the details, submit. Step 2. Download this example. Use the Highscores.bb file from it, and include it into your code. You can also read through and try out the example... That's why it's there, after all! Step 3 Define the following five globals at the top of your code. Global HighscoreTable_GameID=14 ; Which Highscore table we're using. Global HighscoreTable_Password$="Hungry Hungry Hippos" ;<--The password defined in it's admin page. Global HighscoreTable_EncryptionPasses=24 ; The number of passes, also defined in the table's admin page. Global HighscoreTable_MessageOfTheDay$="" ; If there's a MOTD, it'll be in here after you've done your online check. Global Returned_Table$="" ; And use this to dump the table into.. --v These should point to the table's number, password, and encryption passes that you defined within it's settings. (The number's in the board's url!) They'll also hold the table and MOTD if you have one. Step 4 Give each player a (roughly!) unique number, and then try to keep hold of it for future reference! Global MyUserNum=GetNewUser() --v You'll want to save this number somewhere safe, along with the player's highscore, and things like that. You can use the Encrypt(Txt$,Hashkey$) and Decrypt(txt$,Hashkey$) functions to keep things relatively secure in your save files. The point of this number is to (hopefully!) stop a single player from flooding the scoreboards. It should do the trick, but if not, you can easily edit the current board using it's edit page. Step 5 When ready, retrieve the scoreboard. Returned_Table$=SubmitHighscores$(MyName$+"\|"+MyUserNum+"\|"+Highscore) --v The Returned string will be a "\|" seperated list of names and scores. You can use the SplitText() function to split this up. (See the included example for more details) Notes Try not to overdo the connecting stuff. If you make it a "Click here to check online" thing, then it'll help to stop Socoder from getting overwhelmed! Also, if your scoreboard goes overboard (I'll be checking!) I might have to stop you from using it! There's some kind of super-weird issue with spaces inside the encrypt/decrypt function, when you save/load data. Probably best not to let the player use any!

Tikihead	Well this should make Wednesday Workshops and such a bit more fun. Nice, Jay.

HoboBen	Nice one, cucco! Hey Jay - is there a way to delete scoreboards? Mine is messed up!
Saturday, 23 August 2008, 14:51
Jayenkai	Yeah, I can delete them for you, don't worry. Well done Cucco, assuming that works, can't tell. I was very very very very tempted to buy a copy of Cobra, yesterday, but you did it for me, so no need now (PHP Version, Updated to Method 1 Encryption) function Encrypt2($txt,$pass,$EncryptionPasses) { $checksum=0; For ($n=0;$n<strlen($txt);$n++) { $checksum=($checksum+ord($txt[$n])) % 65535; } $txt=$txt.strtoupper(substr("0000".dechex($checksum),-4)); //echo $txt.'<br>'; $txt=XorEncrypt($txt); $origpass=$pass; for ($passes=$EncryptionPasses;$passes>0;$passes--) { $pass=$origpass; for ($n=1;$n<$passes+1;$n++) { $pass=substr($pass.XorEncrypt($pass),-128); } $out=""; $move=(ord(substr($pass,((strlen($txt)+($passes3)) % strlen($pass)) ,1)) % strlen($txt)); for ($n=0;$n<strlen($txt);$n++) { $newpos=(((($n+strlen($txt)))+$move) % strlen($txt)); $out=$out.substr($txt,$newpos,1); } $txt=$out; $tout=""; for ($n=0;$n<strlen($txt);$n++) { $v=ord($txt[$n]); $v=(($v) + (ord($pass[((($n+1)+($passes7)) % strlen($pass))] ) ) ) % 256; $tout=$tout.chr($v); } $txt=$tout; $txt=XorEncrypt($tout); //echo 'Pass '.$passes.' : '.$txt.'<br>'; } $out=""; for ($n=0;$n<strlen($txt);$n++) { $out=$out.strtoupper(substr("0000".dechex(ord($txt[$n])),-2)); } return $out; } function Decrypt2($txt,$pass,$EncryptionPasses) { //echo $txt.':'.$pass.':'.$EncryptionPasses; $out=$txt; $txt=""; for ($n=0;$n<strlen($out);$n=$n+2) { $txt=$txt.chr(hexdec($out[$n].$out[$n+1])); } for ($passes=1;$passes<$EncryptionPasses+1;$passes++) { $pass=substr($pass.XorEncrypt($pass),-128); $txt=XorDecrypt($txt); $tout=""; for ($n=0;$n<strlen($txt);$n++) { $v=ord($txt[$n]); $v=(($v+256) - (ord($pass[((($n+1)+($passes7)) % strlen($pass))] ) ) ) % 256; $tout=$tout.chr($v); } $txt=$tout; $out=""; $move=(ord(substr($pass,((strlen($txt)+($passes3)) % strlen($pass)) ,1)) % strlen($txt)); for ($n=0;$n<strlen($txt);$n++) { $newpos=(((($n+strlen($txt)))-$move) % strlen($txt)); $out=$out.substr($txt,$newpos,1); } //echo 'Pass '.$passes.' : '.$out.'<br>'; $txt=$out; } $out=XorDecrypt($out); $mycheck=strtoupper(substr($out,-4)); $out=substr($out,0,strlen($out)-4); $checksum=0; For ($n=0;$n<strlen($out);$n++) { $checksum=($checksum+ord($out[$n])) % 65535; } If (!(strtoupper(substr("0000".dechex($checksum),-4))==$mycheck)) {$out="";} return $out; } Function XorEncrypt($in){ For ($n=0;$n<strlen($in);$n++) { //; Each chr //;Take the value $Inval=ord($in[$n]); //;Take the next value $Stepval=ord($in[(($n+2) % strlen($in))]); If ( (((($n+1)+$Stepval) % strlen($in)))==$n) {$Stepval++;} //; Use that value to find our xor value. $Xorval=ord($in[((($n+1)+$Stepval) % strlen($in))]); $Newval=$Inval ^ $Xorval; $temp=$in; $in=""; If ($n>0) {$in=substr($temp,0,$n);} $in=$in.chr($Newval); If ($n<strlen($temp)-1) {$in=$in.substr($temp,$n+1,strlen($temp));} } Return $in; } Function XorDecrypt($in){ //This is the same, but backwards...

If you'd like to use that to create your own scoreboard script, or whatever, then feel free. (Not that you have to, of course!) * It's mostly a copy+paste, but I had the two functions using global variables, writing to them, and returning int variables instead of the strings.. So, I might've messed up in the tweaking! It's untested! \|edit\| Although, Hobo, you can EDIT the scoreboard, and empty the text box that contains the scores..!.. or.. you should be able to, anyway! \|edit\|

Jayenkai	OK, Whole thing rejiggered for extra encryption. The topmost download now contains an updated edition of the highscores.bb file, and it's functions with smush data much more cryptically! I've also updated the PHP and BlitzMax code posts to work with the new versions. Cucco and Hobo can fight over who does the Cobra one, 'cos I haven't a clue what I'm doing in that!
