Hey guys, I'm doing a score based Trivia game in which I want you to be able to save your prfile name, your score, and what question youwere on, then reload them, and return to the question you were on last later. I know there's some save and load file commands, but I have no idea how to use them. Example would be greatly apreciated, thanks.

Here's a little example of writing strings and integers to a file, then opening the file and reading the data:

Are your variables global, and do they have any values in them? If not then they would all be empty whenever the function is run, and nothing would be written to the file.

Here's the entire program:



Right now, question 1 and 2 are just test subjects, q1 sets the variables then goes to the SaveGame function...Then I exit the game and check the .txt which is blank...

As Sixty Squares suggested, your variables are not global and hence would read as "" and 0 in the save function, thus writing a few null characters (ascii code 0) to the file, which displays as nothing in notepad.

Slap in

somewhere at the beginning of your code and you should be all set
