This is one method you might want to look at:

+ Code Snippet

dim hiname$(10) : dim hiscore(10)

ClearHiScore()

SetHiScore(1000,"Mr X")
SetHiScore(1,"I'm Crap!")
SetHiScore(45,"I Missed")
SetHiScore(1234,"I'm Good")
SetHiScore(4563,"I'm Best")

for i = 1 to 10
  text 0,i*16,hiname$(i) : text 100,i*16,str$(hiscore(i))
next i

wait key : end


function SetHiScore(score,name$)
  if score > hiscore(10)
    hiscore(10) = score
    hiname$(10) = name$

    rem --- sort hiscore table
    i = 10
    repeat
      if hiscore(i) > hiscore(i-1)
        t = hiscore(i)
        hiscore(i) = hiscore(i-1)
        hiscore(i-1)= t

        t$ = hiname$(i)
        hiname$(i) = hiname$(i-1)
        hiname$(i-1)= t$
      endif

      i = i - 1
    until hiscore(i) <= hiscore(i-1) or i = 1

  endif
endfunction

function ClearHiScore()
  for i = 1 to 10
    hiscore(i) = 0
    hiname$(i) = "....."
  next i
endfunction

Hope it helps

This is a real simple concept, just think about it for a while.

This is Truth!
This is my Belief!
...at least for now.

I see how that one work but the way i want mine set up is like in "3d pinball for windows". I want mine set up so it basicly saves the high scores to a file then reads it when its called.so like i have the names saved to a file like highscores.txt .dat or whatever, it checks to see if your score makes it on there, if so it asks your name then deletes the lowest one, adds yours in to the proper place and then saves the file. Then when i want to read it and display it to the screen. is this even possible? if so please respond. also thanks for the time easily confused to add the code.
