Google App Engine?

[neo42]

Does anyone connect to google app engine site from livecode? I'm thinking about using google app engine to host the multiplayer/server stuff for my games and apps. I'll want to be able to have my iOS livecode app log into the google app engine site and stay authenticated long enough to perform some transactions, uploads and downloads, and then have other users pull down that same data.


Is this possible?


What commands would I need?

So did you ever proceed with this action? If so please share. Thank you.

Google App Engine requires application to be in Java and LiveCode can produce applications that run on lots of different systems. LiveCode actually compiles its standalone applications so it becomes difficult to determine weather LiveCode produces application that will run on GAE.

If you just need your app to communicate with a cloud data store, for saving game states, league tables, user authentication, player information etc. rather than executing LiveCode, perhaps consider one of the mobile BAAS offerings: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backend_as_a_service in real terms they're free to use until you start sending many millions of transactions through them.

There are plenty of case studies regarding gaming and the above providers, here's some broad info: https://www.stackmob.com/why-stackmob/s ... -game-app/
