online game

[IndraTjahyadi]

i have developed an offline game application using vb.net. i wish to keep track about the scores for its users. do i need another application on my server or just a database that stores information about username, password and scores?

can anyone post the steps needed to make a game application online.

these are my steps:
-my game will be available on the web for users to download.
-a database on my server which holds info bout the users.
-add another code for log-in, and passing variables over the net.

thank you

The ideal solution is webservices that act as a middle-tier between your offline app and your database.

i will include asp.net code as a way to pass variable over the net.

- what do u mean webservices as a middle-tier?

this is a brief diagram:


vb.net code asp.net code vb.net code
player ---------(login info)--------> server


Thank you for your reply Sudden
