Gamespy Provides Gamers With Competition SDK

So what does it do? Gamers will definitely be happy with what Gamespy has come up with this time. Announced at GDC 2006, Gamespy’s Competition SDK will allow developers to auto-submit accurate game results and stats to competition-based sites. This will then allow gamers to setup and manage tournaments (private ones, even) with personalized ladders.

Competition SDK keeps record of these stats and results in the Arena Tournament to reduce opportunities for errors and cheating. This will also allow developers to define which elements in the games contribute immensely to its ranking, and what external factors (such as elapsed time) should be applied to the games, among others. Another helpful use of the Gamespy’s Competition SDK is that it gives gamers the look and feel of the game.
