Made from simple PHP, MYSQL and lots of love.
How to use it

-- Downloads the current highscores for your game.
-- "Game name" : A unique name for the highscore database.
-- Ascending: set to true if you want the scores in ascending order.
-- Returns a table of the highscores if you wish to draw them yourself.

-- table[n] ... and so on in decending order.
highscore.draw( x, y )

-- Score: score to add.
-- Ascending: set to true if you want the scores in ascending order.
highscore.keypress(key)
-- If you're going to be using the fancyadd function you need to put
-- this function in the keypress function so the player can type their name.
-- Key: the key variable in the keypress function.

Please note this isn't secure at all. But i'm pretty sure fellow LÖVErs aren't of the corrupt type.
