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
