Getting started, you'll need to download Steamworks API.
📌 Steamworks provides everything you need to create Steam Leaderboards, Stats, and Achievements.
📌 You can also set up the Steam leaderboards in the Steam dashboard, but Steamworks also empowers the game to create a leaderboard itself.
📌 Steam supports persistent leaderboards that are automatically ordered.
📌 Updating a leaderboard is as simple as uploading your own personal score.
📌 Each Steamwork title can create up to 10,000 leaderboards!
📌 A leaderboard has no cap on the number of players that can be entered.
📌 In Barrel Blast, I let the game will automatically create a leaderboard if it doesn't exist.
📌 This means I don't have to manually create a leaderboard for each of the 300 levels.
📌 I can instead, create a new level, play it, and a leaderboard for that level just magically appears 🧙‍♂️
📌 Downloading the leaderboard is straight forward. Provide the name, the range, and asynchronously retrieve entries for that leaderboard.
📌 Setting up the UI is the trickiest part of the whole process. Cheap tools exist in the Asset Store for displaying a leaderboard.
📌 To manually show the leaderboard, set up a new UI prefab, and write a controller that will spawn a row for each entry in the leaderboard.
📌 It can display information like ranking, name, score, and other user data attached to the score.
