Add Deeds

Deeds are interesting statistics about a gameplay session. They're sent on completion and used for leaderboards, achievements, and social sharing.

Steps

1. Identify 3-6 interesting metrics from the game. Good deeds are things like:

   • Number of moves made
   • Words found / items collected
   • Accuracy percentage
   • Streak length (consecutive correct answers)
   • Unique items discovered
   • Time per move/action

2. Track these metrics during gameplay. Add counters/trackers to the game state.

3. On completion, include deeds in the gameCompleted call via the config parameter:

   sdk.gameCompleted(gameplayMetrics, {
     deeds: [
       { id: "moves", value: totalMoves },
       { id: "accuracy", value: Math.round((correctMoves / totalMoves) * 100) },
       { id: "streak", value: longestStreak },
       { id: "items-found", value: itemsFound },
     ],
   })
   

4. Deed IDs should be:

   • Lowercase kebab-case
   • Short and descriptive
   • Stable (don't change between versions)

5. The SDK automatically adds points and time deeds - you don't need to add those.

6. Also send deeds during checkpoints if the game has intermediate milestones:

   sdk.hitCheckpoint(
     "level-complete",
     {
       interruptible: true,
       complete: false,
       process: [],
     },
     {
       deeds: [{ id: "items-found", value: itemsFound }],
     },
   )
   

Success Criteria

• The build script completes without errors
• At least 3 meaningful deeds are tracked during gameplay
• Deeds are sent with gameCompleted
• Deed IDs are kebab-case and descriptive
