Update strategies

You can choose between best score, latest score or total score update strategies.

These are applied when a player score is saved to a leaderboard.

Best score

Use the best score update strategy to store a player's highest score when a leaderboard is configured to sort from from highest to lowest, or to store their lowest score when a leaderboard is configured to sort from lowest to highest.

Latest score

Use the latest score update strategy to store the most recent score for a player, regardless of if it's higher or lower than their previous score.

Total score

Use the total score update strategy to add a player's score to their existing score - or create a new entry for the player on the leaderboard if they don't have one.

You might use this to track experience points accumulated, number of coins collected or the number of games a player has played/won/lost.
