Just a simple can a GameMaker do this question?

[poliver]

Hi, guys. As the title says this is just a simple can a GameMaker do this question.

Sorry, if it's a simple question. I've just never done anything similar in a gamemaker.

I'm trying to create a simple app that's tied to web site.
Basically all I want is for an app is to have a login screen before accessing it's contents and storing/retrieving some basic data on the SQL server.

Everytime I google anything about a login system in gamemaker all i'm getting back is people having problems logging in to the gamemaker nothing about creating such a system in Gamemaker.

Thank you.

Yes, it’s definitely possible. I do have it in some of my projects, although I’ve used this extension to achieve it https://marketplace.yoyogames.com/assets/6401/firebase-ios-android-web

I’m sure there are cheaper ways to do it

If you want to do things yourself without an extension, you will need to use the http functions. Then have a server with a java/c#/something app that listens for these http requests a d access the SQL database.


If you are going to deploy something thought, I would recommend you use something like firebase, and make sure you truly know how to handle passwords etc. There is a lot to do to be secure, you wouldn't want to leak passwords right?
