hi im trying to modifie it to create a file with the username that is entered if it doesnt exist this is what ive done but hmm, seems to get stuck i cant figure out what to do to make it work for ex:
Playername:
input "Playername: ",playername$
if file exist("playername$.inf")=1 then gosub password
open to write 1,"playername$.inf"

newpass:

cls
input "New Password: ",p1$
cls
input "Confirm Password: ",p2$
if p1$=p2$
open to write 1,"1.inf"
write string 1,p1$
close file 1
gosub welcome
endif

gosub newpass

password:
cls
open to read 2,"1.inf"
read string 2,p3$
close file 2
input "Enter Password: ",p4$
if p4$=p3$ then gosub welcome
print "Incorrect Password"
wait 2000
gosub password

welcome:

cls
print "Welcome!"
wait key
end

But it only creates a file named playername$.inf
Any ideas of what im doing wrong?

What's to stop someone trying to get access without the password from just opening the .inf file and reading it, using notepad?

I'd suggest updating the code to write that into a pack file and password protect it, so that someone would need the source for the program to get into it. I can't remember how offhand, but there is a way to password protect pack files, and use the password automatically in your code, as pack files are basically just .zip files.

@ztealmax or whatever.... you have

and

and then you read


the names are playername$.inf for the first two, and 1.inf for the reading function, so you aren't reading the file you are writing.


You would say something like:


and

for each of these I think.

I'm not sure - try it out, and if it works then thats good, and if it doesn't ask here again and someone more capable will answer.

Am I the only one here who's really confused?
