Playdate Game Zero Zero: Perfect Stop

I really am interested and it baffles me that nobody else has privacy as a priority in their life, but down-voted my question instead.

playdate.scoreboards.addScore sends just the rank, player and value data, or is there a device ID added in the background? If not, how do they prevent spamming/cheating? Is player value user-defined? For this game only or all games on the device? Is it sent with https or just http?

Thank you.

You read that wrong. What you're referring to is the response you get from the server in the form of callback parameters. The function signature is

    playdate.scoreboards.addScore(boardID, value, callback)

So you only send the boardID and the score. You get the player name back as part of the callback.

You are probably being downvoted for derailing. This is a post about a particular game, but this thread is turning into an ideological battle unrelated to the game. Discussions regarding people's priorities and privacy concerns would be better off as a separate post.

Oh. Ok. I'll keep that in mind next time.
