depends on if you are save simple just numbers or names and numbers or names, scores, and dates and times lol if its just scores then you can use a array and just use save array.


wait do you know how to use arrays(i didn't till i had db for like 6 months lol)

if you are going to save names and dates then you are probabley stil going to using arrays but just sepparate arrays and not save array but open to write and write string and stuff like that. i could right up a example if you want?

This was actually asked a few days ago. I still stick with using the SAVE ARRAY command and just save all of the high scores into one file at once.

Thanks for the replies.
No i have`nt got to arrays yet.
I`ve written a program in which you have to translate words to help to learn a different language.
It has a two player mode,where you can compete against each other.
I want the high score saver for the single player mode,to give a bit of incentive to use it.
The saver needs to save the name and score of the user.
A example would be great.

Thank again

str$() and val()

or you could do two arrays, it would probably be a little neater with less room for error like so:

DIM Scores(10)
DIM Name$(10)

Note that I used NAME$() rather than NAMES$() mostly because I always mess up with s's next to $'s. Always forget one or the other, but it is all preference.
