Is someone using Google play game leaderboards with an HTML5 game?

Hi there,

so I used to use clay.io for my leaderboards but to be honest, their service really sucks... Now I´m starting to use Google Play Games services but it´s a little bit confusing, does anyone know a good tutorial to implement this into a cocoonjs/phonegap game? (So far, no problem with an http hosted game)

 

Thanks in advance.

More or less, GPGS is the same service for Android and iOS as well as it is for Web app/game. On the left panel there are tutorials about each platform. My guess is you will code JavaScript since phonegap and cocoon.js are JS frameworks. Not sure though how you will implement it, never used cocoon and phonegap before.

Howdy! We announced a few months back we're deprecating the old version of the API with leaderboards. The new SDK is still pretty limited, but much more robust (https://github.com/claydotio/clay-sdk-base). Do note that it's missing most of the social features from the previous version.

 

Google Play Services is probably the best alternative.

Yep, so since May 1st the old API is deprecated and I can´t use the new one because you´ve been in beta for ages (and still you´re) and it seems that no one can use that beta, really cool.

 

So, what to do now with clay.io? NOTHING. I can´t do anything at all, I can´t use the old API because you deprecated it and I can´t use the new one because I resquested a beta user months ago, for several times and I had no answer.

 

Seriously, I don´t like to say this, but your service really sucks.
