Use your cloud code scripts to create and attach custom logic to the configurable objects you build into your game and exert precise control over their behavior.
Cloud code executes at key interception points in the processing of requests, messages, and log events, giving almost limitless flexibility to achieve exactly the functionality you want when you want it.
Open an intuitive cloud code editor to quickly build out your scripts and attach to events, requests, and messages. The editor offers text-entry auto-complete for function parameters with pop-up help.
Cloud Code gives you the power! By exploiting processing interception points in the platform for requests, messages, and events, you can to achieve whatever behaviour you want in your game.
Fully test and debug your cloud code scripts in the Test Harness before going live with your game. Mimic player device connection with the platform under any credential and run the requests, messages, and events with cloud code to check server responses and behavior.
Export cloud code, edit your scripts, and then re-import. The import process checks imported scripts against your game’s current scripts and allows you to browse and accept/reject differences. Errors are identified and invalid script import is blocked.
Compare cloud code across the history of the game’s configuration snapshots. The cloud code history tool identifies and displays differences in cloud code and you can closely review and manage editing differences between two snapshots.
Export your cloud code scripts and synchronize them with external repositories—GitHub or Bitbucket. Connect to your 3rd party repository account via the platform and export/import. An import wizard compares and identifies editing differences and you can accept/reject changes at import.
Attach a cloud code script to any of the system schedulers for execution of the script every day, hour, or minute—extremely useful if, for example, you want to clear out some of the data collected against a leaderboard in your game every day.
"There is no way we would have been able to meet our launch date trying to roll our own servers and build this functionality ourselves, so we are very grateful to have a partner in developing World War Toons as professional and supportive as Gamesparks"
"GameSparks saved us a lot of time and provided us with great service and support. We love GameSparks and are sticking with it going forward."
"We see GameSparks as an extension to our own internal backend. It offers us rich social features that have been well developed and scale to our needs."
" No GameSparks. No Game! We succeeded in shipping WinterForts, to massive volumes of players online, all thanks to GameSparks’ invaluable product and support."
"After evaluating every potential backend service provider, we decided to go ahead with GameSparks. They support more Unity3D platforms than any other provider and their database manager, events system and test harness are extremely powerful and flexible to work with, on top of all the other great features they offer in their easy-to-integrate API."
"I’ve looked into Google App Engine, Parse, PlayFab, and now GameSparks. I’ve got to say that GameSparks is easily the best of the bunch for games. Plus, features like the Test Harness and SnapShots are a big selling point for me.”
“After researching different highly-scalable backend solutions, GameSparks was the clear winner. The platform offers everything we were looking for including an excellent suite of tools for development and testing. Flexibility, rapid iteration and stability are key to us and the team at GameSparks really understands this. Highly recommended.”
“From enabling a “preview” area of your services so you can test new features, to the number of service integrations they have out of the box, to their brilliant Cloud Code feature, the GameSparks platform is incredibly comprehensive for what you want in a game backend.”
