Java API

Use this one instead.

api = new GameJoltAPI(GAME_ID, GAME_PRIVATE_KEY, username, userToken);

Thank you, you sir are a god-send :). That did the trick.

I've moved this over to Github so people can contribute to the project easier.

I'm trying to integrate my game with the Game Jolt API so that I can have high scores for players.   But I get an exception when the game starts:

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.io.FilePermission" "gjapi-credentials.txt" "read")

  Any suggestions?

never mind, there was a clue.

Hey Ashley,

Sorry if this is blindingly obvious, but I was looking through your API and I was wondering if you'd built in support for multiple highscore tables yet? Also, have you written or are you considering writing a short tutorial for implementing your API in a Java application/applet? I'm still new to GameJolt and would appreciate any help you could possibly provide in integrating GameJolt functions into my game. Thanks! :)

I wrote this library so long ago, there's definitely a bunch I would change. There's no support for multiple highscores, but I (or you! ) can patch this. What do you think? 

I don't see a tutorial coming at any point soon, but there should be an example of how to use it in the project? src/org/ag/test/GJAPITester.java

For a quickplay or downloadable application you use the constructor:
public GameJoltAPI(int gameId, String privateKey)

For an applet you use the constructor:
public GameJoltAPI(int gameId, String privateKey, String username, String userToken)

Ah I see, I forgot to look in the ag folder! Tell you what, I'll take a closer look at the API in the next few days to see if I can figure out how to implement it in my game and maybe fork your repo to see if I can add support for multiple leaderboards? Expect at least some cries for help from me in the near future though! 

Since I want to create multiple Highscoretables for my Nine Men's Morris project and the api did not support it I decided to implement it. I created a pull-request for you so you can decide if you want to use it or not.
