Right, I'm almost ready to post a (completed) game onto the click site.
It's a single screen 'snake' game. It has two versions so it could be thought of as two games in one.
This type of game must have a high score table (one for each variation). Will I have to use 'ini' files to do this?
I have read the MMF helpfile, though I didn't find it that helpful and have tried using the 'high score' object.
Thanks, Dave S. aka Orangery.

two version, what do you mean? I do know one way to use INI to save values, But I have never tried to make a high-score out of it, besides Ini isnt my fortè. I suggest using the Highscore object, its very easy. what didnt work with the highscore object?

Sometimes when i use the highscore-object, it doesnt save my score. So when i open up the game once more, the highscore's gone... mysterical... Must been some magician at work... hmmm...

use the vitalize plugin object
use an edit object for the person's name
User clicks on [add high score button]
=Open URL "http://www.yoursite.com/addscore.php?&score=" + Str$( value( "Counter" )
Then you need your online scoreboard and the add score pages
However, unless you use some kind of security method, it'd be easy to hack

Scorpion, it's not an online game, it'll be just for peeps to download from the site.
Monkey, the game is just two screens, each one a seperate game. That's why I need two high score tables.
I have tried tinkering with the 'highscore' object but didn't get anywhere with it. Maybe I just didn't try hard enough!
Thanks, Dave S.

Phizzy, I think you're right. High scores are now saved but the game uses the same high score table for both versions... remember this is two games in one.
It might have something to do with me cloning the first high score table into the second game version even though it is now called 'highscore 2'... hmmm.
Over and out, Dave S.

Dont use the high-score object, its pretty pointless.
Use the ini-object and have Edit objects for names, and Counters for score.

I have two examples on my site of using an INI to make a high score system. One of them also uses the file encoder object to encrypt the scores.
You can download this one here (for MMF):

Or the simpler version (no encryption):

Cheers all, Dave S.

Ah yes, I thought I recognised the name but I couldn't remember where from! I got sidetracked with another project called "Brick Chucker" unfortunately. This should be finished soon though, so I might be able to continue with The Depths Of Doom afterwards.
