I'm playing around with a native (non-web) single-player game I'm writing, and it occured to me that having a daily/weekly/all-time online highscore list (think Xbox Live Leaderboard) would make the game much more interesting, adding some (small) amount of community and competition. However, I'm afraid people would see such a feature as ...

A very simplified version of the table would be (PlayerID - int) (Name - string) (Score - int) I'd like to form a query that would return me a set of say 10 results where the player of interest is in the middle of the table. Perhaps an example would make it more clear. I h...
There is a database with N fixed length strings. There is a query string of the same length. The problem is to fetch first k strings from the database that have the smallest Hamming distance to q. N is small (about 400), strings are long, fixed in length. Database doesn't change, so we can pre-compute indexes. Queries vary strongly, cac...

My table is like this: CREATE TABLE highscores ( name VARCHAR(10), score INT ) and then I want to find an easy way to retrieve the name, score and orde...

I am using OpenFient for an online leaderboard in my game, but how can I get the leader board data (say top ten)? then display it in my own custom UI? Rather than having to use the open feint screen? Thanks. ...

Or displayable format in my game? Never done anything like this. ...
