Any good resources for making learderboards?
Noticed you guys made an online leaderboard for demon knives and it appears you rolled your own solution. Did some snooping in procmon, where I can see you're using ovh (I assume bc of their "unmetered" bandwidth and ddos protection) for a vps and using a funny port number. So I got the hosting bit figured out, now I'm wondering if anyone has any resources/insights/lessons learned for actually coding the leaderboards. All I've ever looked at was steam's leaderboard api, which is pretty limited. I assume what you guys are doing is something very simple, like a simple sql db with a server program to respond to "get top scores" and "post score" requests. However, I ask anyway because anything with networking usually has some caveats and needs to be developed a bit more "defensively."
