Pygbag post request

[erasmushaggblom]

Hi,

I am working on a game in pygame, with the plan of deploying it using pygbag. I need to be able to save the game results to a secured server, preferably through sending a POST request to an API. I have been able to integrate that into the Python file, but have not been successful in sending the request using the converted file. I have tried using both urllib and requests in the base python file. My understanding is that I would need to integrate JavaScript into the HTML file and send the request that way. Is this feasible, keeping in mind that I need to trigger the POST request once the game is finished?

keeping in mind that I need to trigger the POST request once the game is finished

there's aio.fetch.RequestHandler for that

pygbag/pygbag/support/cross/aio/fetch.py

Line 191 in 6fef0c9

class RequestHandler:

That code was extracted from a scoreboard experiment written by @tank-king but has no test for it right now. Please report back any problem.

for posting on exit it is quite tricky : some platform may allow to close tabs without any warning or callback. You should background that task but as soon as possible / make a "saving" screen animation like most modern games have.

side note: maybe implement some proof of game while game is running and save incrementally game state. because some people could just make arbitrary post request to the server.

Thank you very much, that worked perfectly! For posting the results on exit, I just placed the request a bit earlier, right before game end is triggered.

Thanks @erasmushaggblom for testing this out. When I wrote that script, it worked fine on my page because I used a custom template file, but it did not work with default versions. I think it has been added later in newer versions, and because it works for you, it is confirmed it works. Thanks.

Would it be possible to do something similar with databases, like get an asset from a mongodb or make an authenticated request to a service listening via REST API?
