Quiz with game centre and social networking

Have done a bit more tinkering with he quiz plugin. Individual scoreboards for each quiz. Individual achievements within each type of quiz Banner's to show users have achieved the achievements Facebook and twitter integration to post scores. (customisable in control panel) Seperate plugin so users can call the game center without having to complete the quiz. I'm loving my animated backgrounds now. Have a look what it looks like. http://youtu.be/wSLwhGM5vCg If it's to complicated for a plugin, I'll post a tutorial.

Hey @Kittsy, I love it! Can you do this for android/eclipse? Also, how did you get the start up quiz, interactive...etc text out of there? LA

You just delete the picture in Xcode. to remove the quiz picture. Change it to whatever you want I always remove it myself and either add a shape on the background picture or leave it blank and use a contrasting font that's all personal preference. A version for android I'm sure it can be done but android ain't my thing at the moment very complicated. That's the problem with open source, it basically means go out and code it from scratch yourself, not to good for noobs like me.

@Alex - don't know how she did it... maybe you should post a new thread. First, why don't you try uploading a .gif to buzztouch and setting it as background using url. If that does not work, set a gif animation as your background, set it using the file (not url) setting, and put your .gif into the BT Art folder in Xcode/Eclipse. Good Luck!

Well that YouTube post just totally depressed me!!! Boy would I love to know how to do that! I have been trying to get my PHP script to post to Facebook from my quiz but I am not managing it. I had oDesk produce the script but it is just giving me a FB page with a http//: link without the quiz result or my app icon, as I was hoping. I don’t suppose you guys would have a look at my PHP file and advise if anything looks obviously wrong to you? https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3zwe2tioh0esmdc/6CQB-U85PY (not self-hosted, BT v.2, Xcode 4.5)

You don't need to use php to do it on iOS, just use the social framework. If you've seen my video all you want is a post to twitter or facebook button that says "hey I just scored <whatever points> in my cool plugin" download this app at <mycoolplugin @ iTunes.com>.

Oh really? So the info in the quizplugin about “..preparing the back end to receive quiz results” etc. is not necessary? Can you clarify what you mean by “use the social framework”? I don’t see that in my frameworks in Xcode.

Really interesting video! I've integrated gamecenter in one of my BT v1.5 apps but I'd love to let users post their scores on FB or Twitter. The animated backgrounds are really nice! I'd definitely buy the plugin! :)
