I would like to implement a HighScores table that lists the top scores in descending order. Has anyone tried to do this? I would need to use a sorting algorithm of some type, any suggestions there?

Thanks.

It's OK, I think I've worked this one out.

Pretty Easy, isn't it?

Well it would be, but DB doesn't want to compare the saved score with the new. ie:

NewScore = 20

If NewScore > ScoreTable(10) `ScoreTable(10) being equal to 0

^In the above DB determines that NewScore [which = 20] is NOT bigger than ScoreTable(10) [which = 0]

So I tried:

If NewScore < ScoreTable(10) `ScoreTable(10) being equal to 0

This time DB determines that NewScore is NOT smaller either. Yes I tried = as well. DB thinks it not equal. If it's not bigger, smaller or equal, what is it?

I don't expect any help really. Just wanted to express some frustration.

What is the "`ScoreTable(10) being equal to 0" for?

the : command denotes a new command being issued on the same line.

I didn't acually use that notation in my code anyway, who the hell would? Just put it there to show others what the value literally is.
Sorry that it appears to have been confusing.
In code I ALWAYS use another line. Pity there was no help on the actual problem then...

Heh

You've said: "It's OK, I think I've worked this one out," so I'm not sure if you still need help.

This may or may not have anything to do with your problem. When you DIM an array, you enter the number of cells it will have, ie: 10. However, when you access an array's cells, you don't access cells labeled "1" through "10," but rather "0" through "9." Perhaps when you call a nonexistant cell entry, it goes to the next area in memory, and who knows what that may be!

Thanks, although I don't think it's that. I have the same comparison problem with any of the other values stored in the array too.
ie ScoreTable(9).
I'm just gonna try a complete rewrite. I've got nothing (sortof) to lose here.

Are you sure the comparisons aren't working correctly?

Are you testing the results of the comparison by continuing your code, or are you putting an interrupt in to let you know exactly what happened?
I mean like:
