testing the system

is it possible to test the api code without uploading it to nonoba first.


eg I use the HasShopItem function, is there a way i can connect to nonoba and test the response in my development environment with out uploading to nonoba.

if this is possible it will save me a lot of time.

also when testing is there such a thing as test money that we can run through the system, or do we have to make real purchases of our own items?

and How do you test your items when they have not been approved?


if you cant test them, there may be bugs, so they wont get approved, if they are not approved you cant test them ?



catch 22?

I think you can test all the API code except for retrieving stored information about a user.

You don't need to purchase your own items, simply give yourself that item in the code.

Test your items in-game, but instead of checking the API make a replacement using local variables instead.

thanks for the info

No problem

And when you have your item approved, and are the dev. of the game you can buy the item for "free" to test it.

do you mean buy it throught ht eshop, in the same way a player would?


or just endit your coded to grant the item to you?


thanks in advance.

You can't buy your items through the shop I think, not without real money, but you can most certainly award the item to yourself programmatically.

at the eshop, you will get a message like, "your the dev." you can buy this for free.
but the game has to be on the nonoba site to test it.
