Quick Gamecentre question

Hey guys, I've just gone pro! I have gamecentre minus £328.85. It hurts. Just wanted to see some thoughts on how you guys implement it. Do you have an invisible actor which posts the top score after a level automatically? I'm wondering if you have a post score button that the user can press, would you then be able to submit duplicate scores then, e.g. 25metres on one go, then submit 25metres again?

Cheers

    Thought I'd put in the same thread. Now i've got a post score button in my game, the score doesn't seem to post in sandbox mode on an adhoc build. Still shows as no scores when I view the leaderboard. I know TSB said in his video don't worry it doesn't show up right away. But are we talking minutes, or hours later, or 2012? If I exit the app and go back in does it make a difference? Those that have experience, is it common for scores not to show up in adhoc sandbox mode?

    Cheers

    Anyone know if post score normally works in sandbox mode? Still having the same problem

    So with a little fiddling, I managed to get the score posting working in adhoc mode now. Will make a quick note, in case someone has similar problems in future. It was a matter of changing account.

    Originally I made a gamecentre sandbox account within my app on the prompt when I clicked the gamecentre button - this didn't seem to work. So what I did was to go to the actual gamecentre app you have on your iphone desktop, log out there and log in with my actual live gamecentre account I use for games. Then go back into your app, log in with your live account (it still goes into sandbox mode), then voila, score posting seems to work.

    I also found out Apple automatically keeps your highest integer score on the leaderboard only which you would expect. So for example in a runner, when you keep repeating the same level: if you make a manual post score button that the user can press at the end, say if they score 10 first time round, this will go onto the leaderboard. Now if they score 5 next time on the same level, even if they press the button at the end, it doesn't update on the leaderboard. This is what you would expect though I couldn't find any documentation just to make sure. Of course, you could always make the post score button only appear when new score > top score.

    Cheers
