Today we are going to focus this new TUTO-iOS in GAME CENTER. We are going to explain how to get more juice out of the games we play from our iPhone, iPad and iPod TOUCH .
Many of us are fans of playing video consoles, arcade machines and, for a few years now, games that we can download to our portable devices. Since this type of "electronic entertainment" came to light, we have always played against the "machine" or against a friend who offered to play against us on the arcade machines or on the consoles.
Today and thanks to the internet we can play against our friends, or people we don't know, without leaving home. Platforms such as iOS GAME CENTER have also appeared with which we can, among many other things, challenge our friends to beat our achievements, rankings, scores
In case you don't know, GAME CENTER is a kind of social gaming network that Apple makes available to us and where we can add the people we want to be able to interact with them through the many games we have available in the APP STORE.
Thanks to this platform we will be able to send challenges to our friends, see what games they play, look at the rankings in the different games, check achievements, great scores!!!
INTERFACE:
We enter the app and find this screen:
At the top we will see a list of game recommendations that the platform makes us, based on games played by our friends in GAME CENTER. At the bottom we will see another list with the list of games that we have installed on the devices that we have linked to our account on this social network. The games that we have downloaded on the iPhone and iPad appear to us.
By pressing each one of them we will access the statistics that we have generated in them. We can see scores, achievements, rankings
The menu appears at the bottom of the screen, with which we can:
- ME: By pressing this button we access the global data of our profile, where we can change our profile photo, status
- AMIGOS: The list of people we have added to our GAME CENTER account appears.
- GAMES: Main screen where we landed when entering the app and which we have already discussed.
- CHALLENGES: Challenges sent to or received by friends.
- REQUESTS: We will see a list of people who request to add us to their accounts on this platform.
Of all the options, the one we like and fun the most is sending and receiving CHALLENGES.
HOW TO SEND CHALLENGES IN GAME CENTER:
There are several ways to send a challenge. We are going to explain what is the easiest and most effective for us.
To send a challenge we must follow the following steps:
Within GAME CENTER, access one of the games we play.
Click on an achievement or on our position in one of the available rankings (we have to say that not all games have rankings).
On the screen that appears, then click on the option « CHALLENGE A FRIENDS «.
From the list of contacts we will select one or more of them and, after them, we will click on "NEXT".
A screen will appear in which we have the option to send a message to the people we are going to challenge.
After completing the optional message, we will press the "SEND" button.
Immediately the challenge will be received by the challenged contacts and they can accept it or not.
If the users who receive the challenge do not have the game in question, it will give them the possibility to download it through a link to the APP STORE.
If the challenger manages to overcome a challenge, you will receive a notification informing you and you will have to put your batteries together hehehehe:
We think it's a very good option to be able to send challenges through the GAME CENTER to get more juice out of the impressive games that we can play from our iOS devices. We will be able to compete with our friends and cause memorable "sprints".
We hope with this tutorial we have introduced you a little more to the world of GAME CENTER.
