What grade are you in because you dont learn all that till grade 11 , and it can get very complicated , its a total other program ,and to intergrate it in now could be very tricky, if you let me see the source i can see if i can work with it |

do you know how to read and write to binary files? thats the basic starting point , you need this method becusae otherwise , every time you write data to the file it erases what was there before , the only other way to tackle that is to capy what is in there when you open it and then re write it with the new data. but your also gonna have to learn how to search a file for certain keywords , and if a user changes his name from justin to Justin , then it wont find the record in the highscores becasue j in ascii is different than J |
