Heyy guys,

I'm in need of a Highscores/Leaderboards API to store my basic game stats online. Note that it's PC game, not mobile so a simple HTTP-calls based service would be great. It's really just half a dozen of strings of max. 20 people. If anyone is aware of such service, please let me know. I don't want to deal with setting up a server/DB just for that as I'm kind of noob in that area.

I was using that one but just learn that they shut down because of lack of devs and funding.

Search for a free webhost with PHP and MySQL. You don't have to setup a server by your own. You only have to create the reading and writeing PHP pages.

That's my last choice as that requires me to learn PHP/Javascript bits I know there is Azure SDK that MS provides free for students with some functionality. I'll see if it'll be enough if I find nothing ready to use.

You could always use a free azure website to host, if the domain name doesn't matter.

Thank you guys. I'll see if I can easily set up Azure or similar web backend (I have even been skipping installing Web tools with VS) with my current little to none web dev knowledge but first I better be sure there is certainly no such ready tool. There are tons of them for mobile or web games though. :/

Now I see I shouldn't have condescended my friends who deadly love and use PHP at times.

I wanted to post this service for future references named PlayFab that I've come across when looking for such functionality. It has native SDK as well and nice features though I won't be using it as I gave up using Stats functionality in my project.
