I am new to web game development and I am trying to do a web canvas game for a competition.
I have finished most of the codes but I am having problems with the highscore system which is a requirement for the game.
I have access to the server where I can host my game but it does not support SQL.
I am thinking of using only XML and ajax to manage the highscore.
Is this possible? Is that any reference that I can look into?
So far I haven't find a way to modify XML files with ajax directly.
I am aware that php is able to modify XML files, but I am also not sure whether the server will be able to support that.
Do all php servers support handling of XML files the same way?
(I know there is a difference between php 4 and php 5)
Any detailed tutorial on how to modify XML files in JavaScript will be appreciated.
