|----------|:-------------:|:--------:|------------:|
|chat\_id|[long](../types/long.md) | Yes|Chat a message with the game belongs to|

### Return type: [Message](../types/Message.md)

### Example:


```
$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API();
if (isset($token)) { // Login as a bot
    $this->bot_login($token);
}
if (isset($number)) { // Login as a user
    $sentCode = $MadelineProto->phone_login($number);
    echo 'Enter the code you received: ';
    $code = '';
    for ($x = 0; $x < $sentCode['type']['length']; $x++) {
        $code .= fgetc(STDIN);
    }
    $MadelineProto->complete_phone_login($code);
}

$Message = $MadelineProto->setGameScore(['chat_id' => long, 'message_id' => long, 'edit_message' => Bool, 'user_id' => int, 'score' => int, 'force' => Bool, ]);
```

Or, if you're into Lua:

```
Message = setGameScore({chat_id=long, message_id=long, edit_message=Bool, user_id=int, score=int, force=Bool, })
```
