iPhoneLB.com gets a much needed update

screenshot_04

So, I started this site called iphonelb.com a few months back and left out a very important feature.  The ability to edit your applications!?!  What this means is, users have been testing their apps and putting in “test data” and when it comes time for release, the can’t modify it.

Another feature missing, was the ability to clean out all of your test scores.

Well, thanks to about 8 minutes of my time, this has been resolved and the feature has been added. I am really excited about iphonelb and have some big things planned for it in the future. Write me on Twitter or on my blog if you have any feature requests for it.

Free Leaderboard Solution for iPhone Game Developers

What makes most multiplayer games more exciting that single player games? It’s competition! People love to compete with eachother.

And how can competition be achieved in single player games? Leaderboards.

A leaderboard is basically a table ranking players based on their scores in the game.  This allows players to see how they stack up against other players.

<b>The Problem</b>

Many programmers either know how to do web development or system development. They don’t know both and certainly don’t know how to integrate the two. This is why I believe there are not more single player games with leaderboards in the App Store.

<b>The Solution </b>

This is where iPhone Leaderboards comes in. It’s an online hosted leaderboard that is incredibly easy to integrate with any iPhone game. The code to integrate with iPhoneLB is given to you to paste directly into your own.  It couldn’t be easier.

Try it out and let me know what you think!
