Hello, Not sure how to explain this... I'm not the actual developer but want to have some basic understanding before I approach a developer to do this. I want a 'News' section inside a game menu that connects to a remote site displaying information. I think this is relatively easy to do. What I also want to do is have the game check if there is a new information to display and alert the player. Is THIS something I have to setup an actual server for? If so, how complicated is it to setup a server? Another thing is for a free game to have a splash screen at the beginning of the game when it loads that displays a screen according to what I adjust on a server.
U can try out pubnub if u need a realtime game creation If u jz need a farmvallie alike game, u must master web programming, DB architecture, game programming all Then get ur app to ping web server and react based on acknowledged MSG
