Skidstorm Rank Autofetch

About Skidstorm

Skidstorm is a top-down racing game released on both Android and iOS, developed by Immobile Games, a Finnish game studio. The copyrights to the game was later handed off to Cheetah Games. However, due to various reasons, the game was eventually removed from Google Play Store and iOS app store.

About this Repo

It globally tracks player information, such as rank/number of games played/medals, as well as country-wise player information from Cheetah servers, and displays the results in a dynamic manner. It uses the Bottle API to create REST APIs, which is internally used by the application. You can deploy it in your own machine or use my Heroku instance.

Unfortunately the game was closed down in 2020 due to monetary issues, and the game servers were also shut down, thus the repo is no longer being updated. However, this repo serves as a nice example of how to properly develop and use REST APIs. Even now, I sometimes come back here to understand how to develop proper APIs.

Deployment

I deployed the app in Heroku, from where it was publicly accessible.
