Share My Creation Showcase: FFSNG (proof-of-concept)

Yo!

Our flagship game is called ffsng (http://ffsng.com) and has 1 million registered users and 250,000 monthly active users. Most of the users are connecting using their facebook accounts. We do offer a native login through our secure REST service. The game is written in php, utilizes a MySQL server pool and has 16 application servers.

The task was to build a native android solution for our users. The problem was that the development in eclipse and other tools was way to slow and problematic.

Fortunately, I stumbled upon b4a. Almost a month later, we have a rock-solid login procedure which was the most important and critical thing by using our home made b4a libraries:
  • SocialApi SDK providers: facebook connectivity
  • XtraViews: DialogView for our dialogs and MovieView for our ajax loaders
In the video below you can see the login procedure using FacebookProvider and our custom made REST provider that connects to our game rest service.

We are now ready to implement the game logic and our graphics in the 1/100th of the time we would need in any other android development environment.

B4A: It is MAGIC!
