Can Buzztouch be used to make a Facebook app?

Hello all, I'm a SUPER newbie and I don't know anything about this stuff. The forums may as well be in Mandarin Chinese because I haven't understood a word of it. Anyway, the app I want to make is an interactive game, such as Words With Friends, and I know the best way to capitalize on that is being able to log in through Facebook. I didn't see anything like that on the plugin's page, so I'm just wondering if it's possible to do this with Buzztouch. Do you have to pay Facebook for that right? I've done some Googling and see that Facebook has their own app developers page; would I submit it to them or just Android? Please no tech jargon. I won't understand it lol.

Hi @missbeanz, Welcome to buzztouch! In theory it should be possible to make an app like Words with Friends, where you login via Facebook. However, that would require an extensive amount of extra programming above and beyond what's currently available with buzztouch. As you noticed, there isn't a "games plugin" available, so something custom would have to be built. Since buzztouch provides you with all the source code for any app you create, you do have the capability to extend it in any way you want. But, being a complete novice...well, chances are pretty slim that it would be easy enough to figure out. Hope this helps a bit, and I hope you do find an app that you can create using the current buzztouch plugins. There are some amazing things that people have done with what's available, and it didn't require any extra coding at all. Spend some time experimenting and see what you come up with! And, don't hesitate to post questions in the forum. Mark

Thanks so much! I think I just need to find a techie to help me but I don't really have the money to pay anyone. And I do have another app idea that I think buzztouch would be able to accommodate, so I'll be sticking around. Thanks again! Beanz
