    Question Hiscore

    Hi again!I am almost to finish my game but I have one problem.I want to make a hiscore table showing the best 3 players of the game and updated automatically when someone do better score.I have something in my mind but I would like to create it in a class module so it's difficult.I have written the lander game but I don't prefer to save in the registry.Any suggestions?

    You could do it in the registry or just simply in an external file, but make sure you encrypt it.

    There's no need to encrypt it, just save the names like this:

    VB Code:
    1. 'To write it:

    2.  
    3. Open App.Path & "\highscore.dat" For Random As #1

    4.  
    5. Write #1, Player1Score

    6. Write #1, Player1Name

    7. Write #1, Player21Score

    8. Write #1, Player2Name

    9. Write #1, Player3Score

    10. Write #1, Player3Name

    11.  
    12. Close #1

    13.  
    14.  
    15.  
    16. 'To read it:

    17.  
    18. Open App.Path & "\highscore.dat" For Random As #1

    19.  
    20. Read #1, Player1Score

    21. Read #1, Player1Name

    22. Read #1, Player21Score

    23. Read #1, Player2Name

    24. Read #1, Player3Score

    25. Read #1, Player3Name

    26.  
    27. Close #1
    Code:
    Temp = Me.GetIQ()
'Error 9: Overflow
'DON'T PANIC! :eek:

    There's a highscore table in one of my games, using INI files. The game can be found at my old site (http://psprogramming.virtualave.net/...eattackdx.html), the highscore loading and saving code is in the clsHighscore class module...
