I'm not asking for anyone to explain all about it, I'm just looking for sample source code, snippets, tutorials, or anything that would help. I'm certain there must be some here but I've searched the forum a few times & I just can't find anything.
I have this java code sleeping in a dusty folder... Don't know if it's still accurate but this should help you understand what's going on everytime you send a score.
