Hello, this is my first post :)

I've got an idea for a game but just needed to confirm a few different things:

my first plan was to have two different characters (male and female) so when you click you would have a choice but would i have to create two separate game plays for each character or could both play off one scene but would input which character they would select. and how is it done?

and in GS Pro is the game centre leader board linked to just my game so users can see their score in only my game and see where they are ranked? or is it just a general leader board of all games?

sorry if these are stupid questions but it has been confusing me

Thanks for anyones help hope to hear from you soon.

Jonney

    You can have it all in one game, you would just have an index attribute called character and set it to 1 if it's a boy and 2 if it's a girl. Then in your game, just have it so if 1 then animate the boy stuf, if 2 then animate the girl stuff (or change image to that, or whatever you want it to do).

    The leaderboards are just like you see on top apps, a GameCenter board exclusive to your app.

    Hi. Welcome.

    Q1. You could set it up so you fully have 1 working character, at this point, you could duplicate and just switch the animations over to look like the other character. In the game, you could have a switch linked to a game.attribute controlling which character you are playing as. When you press the switch it changes the attribute, in the characters, you have a rule;

    If game.attribute (whatever you call it) is 1
    Then all your character rules can be active for character 1.

    If game.attribute (whatever you call it) is 2
    Then all your character rules can be active for character 2.

    Q2. The leader board will only reference your game.
