Achievements

Achievements is a service with a series of API calls that allows you to reward players when a milestone in a game is reached. These "milestones" or "achievements" are defined and created by you for each game under the Achievements panel. Achievements are defined by providing four different values.

  • Identifier - a unique value that identifies an achievement within a game
  • Title - the title of the achievement
  • Description - the description of the achievement
  • Progress Goal - an integer value equal to or bigger than 1

Achievement objects loaded for players and accessible to the game developer contian the above list of properties plus the following properties.

  • Progress - the current progress of the achievement which is between [0 and ProgressGoal]
  • LastUpdate - the last updated time in UTC
  • ProgressRatio - A value in the range [0:1] indicating the progress made towards completion
  • Completed - a boolean value idicating whether and achievement is completed or not
  • ImageUrl - A url to the image of the achievement

Each player is eligible for all achievements defined for a game. This means that when achievement list for a player is loaded, it contains all the achievements available for that game. It is the "Progress" value relative to the "ProgressGoal" that indicates whether an achievement is completed, in-progress, or not started. The "Achievements" service provides the following API calls to access and modify achievements for each player in a game

Once an achievement is "Complete", its "Progress" value cannot be changed. In other words the achievement cannot be undone and modified.
