Synopsis


#include <gnome.h>


gint        gnome_score_init                (const gchar *gamename);
gint        gnome_score_log                 (gfloat score,
                                             gchar *level,
                                             gboolean higher_to_lower_score_order);

Description

The routines in this module provide a simple way for games to keep track of the user's score in a game.

The programmer needs to call gnome_score_init() with the name of the game prior to accessing any of the other gnome_score functions. gnome_score_log() should then be called every time the user ends a round. To get a list of the most notable scores, you call the gnome_score_get_notable() routine.

Details

gnome_score_init ()

gint        gnome_score_init                (const gchar *gamename);

GNOME Games should call this routine as the first statement in main() if they have been installed setgid to the games() group.

                                             gboolean higher_to_lower_score_order);
