To create a game that uses Facebook for authentication, you need to create a Facebook application to generate
an Application ID and App secret.
Generating the Facebook Application
To create the application, make sure you are logged in to Facebook, and then go to
ht-
tps://developers.facebook.com
.
Click the Apps button on the top of the page, and then the + Create New App
button. Enter the name
Blob Clicker
as the name of the Application, as shown in

,
leaving the app
namespace blank.

Creating a new app.
If you haven't yet verified your account, you'll need to go through a security check as well.
Next, you are presented with your App ID, App Secret, and a screen of options to configure the Application.
To start, the Application runs off of
localhost
for testing purposes. To set this up, fill in the domain name
localhost
in the App Domains field. Next, further down the page, click the section Website with Facebook Lo-
gin, and type the URL
http://localhost:3000/
(don't forget the final forward slash “/”) into the Site URL field.
Figure 20-2
shows how this screen should look.
