Things sure are moving and shaking around here. We’ve just added yet another social site to our surprisingly large list of places on the Internet that you can enjoy all of J2Play’s fantastic games. Of course, since Meebo doesn’t have the traditional way to add and play J2Play games, you’ll have to keep an eye out for the incredibly well-made ad at the bottom of the page. It looks a little something like this:
Simply click on the graphic, or hover over it for long enough, to load a miniature but fully-featured version of the J2Play social wrapper that you all know and love.
Isn't it adorable?
Now, since seeing is ad is somewhat of a chance encounter, the fine people at Meebo have provided a direct link to the game. Check it out!
First of all, we have added Hi5 support to our C++ GDK. Now you can choose from logging into Facebook, logging into Hi5, or just connecting directly to J2Play. Logging into a social network gives you the advantages to challenge your friend, post the game feeds to let them know your activities and share your favourite games with them.
Second, we have updated the score interface. We added two new interface classes – ScoreController and ScoreRecordSet – to help developer commit and retrieve the game record. See C++ Leaderboards.
Finally, we have improved the internal communication. So the GDK is more stable and more powerful. User can get more fluid switching experience between games.
Download the toolkit from the J2Play Developer Wiki and recompile your game based on this new toolkit. No code changes are required unless you choose to use the new score interface.
