    🏆 An open-source leaderboard for indie game developers

  • The last week I worked on my open-source project HighScore and I released a new version. HighScore is an open-source leaderboard and is an alternative to the Google Play Service, which allows you to create leaderboards for your games and add some others features to your game. Highscore is currently under development and a lot of features are missing, but you can try the leaderboards which allow you to store your game score easily. This new version contains a new bad words filter, a custom download link and a rate limit to prevent spam.

  • badwords

    A javascript filter for badwords

  • This new feature allows you to prevent poorly words into the name of the score sent. To work I use this bad-words library which already contains a default list of words. However, you can also add your own words depending on your language.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • express-rate-limit

    Basic rate-limiting middleware for the Express web server

  • The last feature is a rate limit to prevent spam. Highscore has no auth system all endpoints are public and can be accessible by anybody. That's why adding a rate limit is useful to prevent abuse requests for a malicious users. For this, I used the very good express-rate-limit library which does the job perfectly. Like all other features, you can configure the rate limit using env variables.

  • Ts.ED

    :triangular_ruler: Ts.ED is a Node.js and TypeScript framework on top of Express to write your application with TypeScript (or ES6). It provides a lot of decorators and guideline to make your code more readable and less error-prone. ⭐️ Star to support our work!

  • I use Ts.ed as framework, go to this site to known more about this awesome framework.
