Hi All

Before I can set up my web based High Score table, I wanted to get a local one working using a simple text file!

What confuses me is when my app writes a updated high score table it writes it to my windows->documents file, but it reads it from my bin directory (where graphics r stored).

No real problem on my PC but where is this written on my Nexus 7(Android)....I need to read and write at the same place!

Where is the digital?

The first time a file is read, AppGameKit looks in the media directory (Tier 1) or the executable directory (Tier 2).

If you then overwrite the file (or create a file with the same name), that file goes in the sand box area for the app. On Windows that is in the Documents area.

Thereafter, any reference to that file will be in the sand box area and the 'media' one (installation area) will be ignored.

Cheers,
