Game editor questions

Hello I have some questions

Does Geplayer convert dat to ipa

Can GE dat files change the game, example (I have a car game, I download a dat and I automatically get a new car in my game)

How do I change a highscore in another game, example ( I play a game in dat format, I get points and I go into another dat and I get a new highscore)

thanks

No, all geplayer does is provide the gE engine. It loads your .dat files similar to how a normal gE executable would.

Yes, if the new version of the game has the new car, then when you download the new dat file, it would have the new car in it. All it is doing is replacing the game file, so naturally if the game changes, the contents of the game change.

You'll need to have both games able to load the same file (need to be in the same directory, and both know the proper format).

I have, and I've helped a few other users do the same. If you are thinking of publishing, you won't be using geplayer, but rather geapp. geplayer is just a convenient way of testing your game before going through the hassle of getting your game published.
