Scoreboards

Adding Scoreboard to any game or experience can be done in a few steps. Once created, it will track both Daily and All-time highscores. The creator of the scoreboard has options to customize it, add multiple scoreboards per game to track best scores per level, and reset it. Check out the demo experience which has both Report Score and Show Score events setup, referencing a "Most Coins" scoreboard.

How to Add a Scoreboard

  1. Before you can create the scoreboard itself, you need to save the experience/game that the scoreboard will reference.

  2. After saving, open the experience's webpage from the Save Successful window.

  1. Click on the + button next to Scoreboard on the new webpage.

AddScoreboardButton

  1. Name the scoreboard and customize its settings to match your game. For example:
  • A racing game should have Time and Lower is better selected
  • A Pac-man style arcade game should have Numeric and Higher is better selected
  • An Escape Room with a specific time limit should have Time and Higher is better selected

Pro Tip

CustomizeScoreboard

  1. With the Scoreboard(s) created, reload your experience that will reference the scoreboard in the Builder. It is pulling new information from the server, so it needs to be downloaded fresh.

  2. Open the scene(s) where you want to report the player's score. You now need to choose when and how to report the score using Events!

  • For a racing game, you could add it to a Finish Line trigger and have it report a Timer variable.
  • For an arcade-style game you could add it to a Health variable so it reports a Score variable value when the player's health runs out.
  • You could add it to a button that the player can press to report a score variable. This is the easiest to set up and understand so that is the approach shown here.

To report a score variable to the scoreboard when a button is clicked, add the following event to the button:

On: Interaction Start
Then: Experience
Report Score:
> Select the reference [] button, choose Other Object, and then click the score-tracking variable
> Select the scoreboard you just created (Eg. Most Coins)

  1. To add a button that shows the scoreboard when clicked, like in a lobby or end game scene, it just takes one more event.
On: Interaction Start
Then: Experience
Show Score:
> Select the scoreboard (Eg. Most Coins)

ShowScoreEvent

  1. Save and update the experience to finalize the scoreboard, and allow scores to be reported! It will not work until the experience is saved.

UpdateExperience

  1. When playing the experience, and the score is reported successfully, you will see a scoreboard appear with your score.
