Asked By RandomArtist42 On

I'm new to backend development and I'm trying to figure out how to store the logic that generates clients' scores and in-game currencies in a database. Specifically, I want to ensure that the scoring operations happen server-side to prevent cheating or manipulation. Also, how can I secure my API keys that access the database? Any guidance would be appreciated!

To store your game logic securely, set up a database that holds user scores and the data linking those scores to users. You'll need a backend service to accept score data from your game client and write it to your database. Create an API endpoint for your front end to send game scores to your backend. This way, the actual scoring logic remains server-side, reducing the risk of manipulation by players.

Definitely! If your game runs in the browser, the easiest way is to start with a small database for storing user scores. Create a backend service that takes score data, processes it based on your logic, and writes it to the database. If you're worried about your API keys, consider using a secure method for accessing them, like environment variables or secret management services.
