Hey guys, working on an app that needs a save function. I've learned a bit about writing to a file, OpenToWrite, OpenToRead, but cannot for the life of me figure out the functionality of it. Any assistance is greatly appreciated! Essentially all I'm doing is saving a highscore so that it ultimately isn't "reset" automatically whenever the app is closed. Again, thanks for the help guys.

I'd also recommend looking at the json array load and save feature in AppGameKit too: https://www.appgamekit.com/documentation/guides/12_array_changes.htm

It only takes a couple of lines to save and load a single variable from a .json file. It'll be easy to save a top 10 list that way too.

I used ReadInteger and WriteInteger alot before json was available and slowly moving parts of my app over to json.

+1 for json it's a universal format that most languages can easily encode/ decode with internal data structures, and it's easily transportable for example by sending via web request to an online score table. I json all the things

Alright so far haven't had much luck, I'm probably overlooking something. Here's essentially how it's written out here.

if GetSpriteCollision(1,2)
"random code placed here"
scr = scr + 1
endif

scr in this instance being the variable for the scoring system

When you "lose"

if scr < hscr
hscr = hscr
elseif scr > hscr
hscr = scr
endif

This ultimately saves in one time, once the game is closed, hscr is of course reset to 0. Json seems to be the right way to go about it. How would you guys go about this?
