I'm trying to impliment an options menu into my game where the user can select what resolution they want to use in the game. And, to ensure the user doesn't need to re-select their preffered res everytime they enter the game, I want to save that info into a file called "settings.dat"

The user gets to chose between four different resolutions, and whichever one they choose is stored in a variable chosen_res. Which can range from 1-4. So, how do I save this one digit integer into a file, and then load it back up.

Check my code to see what I've already tried. (What happends is that it tries to save information, however when I load up the settings.dat file in NOTEPAD, all I see is a little Square... and no numbers?)

Thanks...

after the first bit


what does chosen_res equal??? when you print it to the screen for instance??? you could try saving it as a string if you want to see it when you open it up in notepad

Hi there,

As ReD_eYe said you could save that value as a string. But because you have saved the value as a byte that's why it looks like that. So nothing to worry about.



I typed a quick example and works.

So I hope that helps ya.
