This is the final article in a three-part series on building a multi-user iOS game app. In part 2 of this series, we demonstrated the process of player registration, login, and storing in Backendless Database. Now, let’s take a look at counting the score for every player, creating a leaderboard, and how all of the game installations are notified when this information changes.
The source code for the game is available in the author’s personal Github repo. You can read Part 1 of this series here and Part 2 here.
This is the third part of our series on using Backendless with a ReactJS frontend app. You can catch up on the previous articles here: Part 1 and Part 2. If you’d like to jump in now, you can simply create a new Backendless app, clone our previous progress from our Github.com repository, and use this commit as an entry point for today’s article.
Our goal for today is to showcase integration with our Real-Time (we call it RT) database for delivering changes in your data table from the server to the client. We have previously written about implementation of RT in an Angular app (“How to Use the Backendless Real-Time Database in Your Angular App”). If you’re interested in Angular or you just want to see difference between the usage of RT with React and Angular, we’d recommend you give that article a read.
Today we will talk about how to monitor client’s Real-Time Connections in your Angular application. This tutorial continues the guide on how to build Angular apps with Backendless. It is recommended to check out the previous article in this series before you continue for the reason that we will use the application from the previous post as the starting point for this tutorial. Alternatively, if you just want to start working with the it right away, just download the source code from this GitHub commit.
In many cases we want to see how many application users are online or offline, for example, it might be useful in a chat application. For the demo purposes, in our application we will add a simple counter for count all connected clients. As we explore adding that functionality, you will meet with Backendless Business Logic, Backendless Counters, Codeless and keep discovering Real-Time features:
Great news, guys! Backendless 5 is now released and it’s time to show you some new features we’ve been working on. In this article we will talk about how to integrate the Backendless Real-Time Database into your Angular application. Meanwhile, you can check out the previous version of our Angular app in this post. In case you haven’t read the post and don’t have that app yet, please review the previous article, because we will use that application as a starting point for this tutorial. Or, if you just want to start working with the it right away, just download the source code from this GitHub commit.
