Hello guys,
I've a question for you about using online highscores in my games.
It's some days I'm thinking about it but I'm not sure which method to use.

These are the options:

-When you submit your name and score, program checks if you are online
and, if so, submit your score to the webdb and finally the game displays
highscoretables inside the game window. If you are offline of course the
game will update the local highscores, that could be the last ones you
downloaded. This is an integrated solution, that may look like the one
you can find in Babu Puzzle (visually speaking).

OR

-When you submit your name and score the game always saves local
highscores table and ask you if you want to post it online too. If so, the
game will send an http request calling a jsp page that insert the record
and then redirect to a generated html page for viewing, surely linked on
my website. That cannot be done in the game window but it will need a
browser to open.

Which one do you think is better? and why? I'm evaluating both solutions
and i can't decide which one to use.. The first may look more solid, the
second i think gives you a better idea that you are "online" or taking
part to a community or.. you know what i mean

I'm 60% for the first solution and 40% for the second right now.

Thanx in advance,
FNX
