Hi, I am new to Turing and found this site through the help tab in turing. Im in grade 10 and just started Turing last week. Anyways I require a bit of assistance. I am starting my first game and was wondering if someone could help me make a high scores list. I want to make it so that theres a command to save a score to a text document. Example: put "Would you like to add your score to the high scores list?" put "Press 1 to save score and 2 to play again" getch (yesorno) if yesorno = "1" then add name, " " ,score to last line of scores.txt end if etc.. btw: I'm just doing this at home for fun |

eh, its really easy if you keep just one score. You compare if new one is higher then one in file and if so replace. Otherwise you'd have to use a sorting algorythm to sort the scores in order and find where to insert new one and shift all others. |

read up on record files as well, as they are pretty much made for something like this actually no, if you want that sorted, it could be a ***** if you dont know what your doing well i duno, youll need to learn record files next year anyway, just get a head start |
