Google App Engine

I just found GAE and I am very impressed so far :slight_smile:

I am just curious, have any of you integrated (from applet or application) ingame user login with google accounts? Is it even a good idea?

I asked this just recently ( http://www.java-gaming.org/index.php/topic,22150.0.html ) and the overwhelming response seemed to be that people didn’t want to type the google login details into a random 3rd party game/app (which is fair enough, even if it’s heavily sandboxed and restricted).

Roll-your-own seems to be the way to go (although I do use google’s login for access to the admin pages, because there’s only really me that’ll use that and it saved me some implementation time).

What about Single sign on? Is it possible to use it from a client app?

I never minded that, but only used it in a browser. Probably people that don’t understand it will balk at having to sign on google thinking i’m trying to capture their credentials.
