Upload and save data to Google Drive and Dropbox

#1 Post by Andredron »

I remember, Mr. Python, you managed to attach Google analytics to the renpy

and I often see in the comments to long novels and other visual novels, which focus not on text but on minigames, people are asking to upgrade applications so that cloud saves can be created.

an example of this Guitar Girl Match 3 an Google Play

on renpai, this game can be almost completely implemented, but there are over 1200 levels, and if the project is interesting, it will be a pity to lose all the data

Api google - https://developers.google.com/drive/api ... requisites

Api dropbox -
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/dotnet

Api google play - https://developers.google.com/games/ser ... savedgames

Mr. python will most likely, as usual, say that he does not see the point in this implementation, since he is lazy, and there was no such thing in the visual novels of 1998, but it is not necessary, but I will try to offer an idea (although it is surprising that Google analytics was added, and novels do not need this much ...)

Hi, Andredron.
Ren'Py is able to make web requests. Currently we can use the included requests python library.
I haven't used those services you link, but I've done some apps with Ren'Py that send and retrieve data from a web server. Once the data is in my server, I can do anything that a server can do (use a DB, connect to other servers, APIs and whatever). So, probably what you need is already doable with the current RenPy.
