Why doesn't a particular game save scores?
Monday, 01 January 2007

Symptom: A particular game appears to be working properly, but does not save scores.  Other games are working and saving scores, but a particular one is not.

Possible Cause 1:  Some games don't yet work with PU Arcade.
Possible Cause2: You changed the name of the game, which is different than the game title.  When you edit a game, there is a field you can edit called game name.  This is how PUArcade identifies a game to itself.  If you change this, it will often break scoring.

Resolution:
1.  Make sure you leave the game name the same as what PUArcade auto-detected, unless you are troubleshooting and have a reason to change it.  This isn't displayed anywhere, the title is what is shown on all the front end pages, so there shouldn't be a reason to change it.

2.   If that doesn't work, send me a problem report with the name of the game and a link to download it, and I will check to see if it is compatible with PUArcade.  If it isn't, I'll try to figure out why.  If it is, I'll let you know.
