It's strange. One of these cases where I almost has the answer. I know I have to make an array, so I can swith the active profile with switching the player integer: profile[player]. But when I somehow try to put this into practice ... my brain just refuse to work with it.

What would be the best approach if I want to save level progress, topscore, etc, for two seperate profiles?

My current code goes like this:

Add player to dataThing

Type dataThing
player as string
levels as levelThing[]
someStuff as integer
moreStuff as integer
Endtype

Then search through the aGameData array till the player matches. If not add it.

You could use .insertsorted() and .find() to search for the player

Alternatively you could name the JSON file after the player

I would do something like this:

type tProfile
Levels as LevelThing[]
PlayerName$ as String
Score as Integer
LevelProgress as Integer
endtype

Global Players as tProfile[]

Json and arrays are compatible.
Load the json file into the empty array and it will fill automatically.
Sometimes, I will set up the data structure and save it as Json to give me a template to edit.
