Some of you may be familer with my HSHOF system, this is much more.
ODI is a system that allows your game to access- online highscores, messages, local weather and eventually a couple other things.
The online highscores can add some replay value to your game, messages are a way to let players know of updates... or whatever you want, and local weather is a project/game in itself let alone a feature.

Check out the website for details, www.zingerhead.com/public/odi/
