Hi,

We have been looking around the Internet for a great example
of how to load/save game data on both desktop and Android platforms
but can't seem to find anything?

Can some one help us load/save game data on desktop/Android, thanks!

Ok, got something working:

Two words: Nesting loops!

Also, whilst on the desktop clients you can save and load your files just about anywhere - on android and I'm guessing iOS as well, you're pretty much limited to the media folder of your project.

To illustrate the point Dybing is making, this:

mode as integer
            for mode = 0 to 2
                HighScoreName [ mode, 0 ] = readString( 1 )
                HighScoreName [ mode, 1 ] = readString( 1 )
                HighScoreName [ mode, 2 ] = readString( 1 )
                HighScoreName [ mode, 3 ] = readString( 1 )
                HighScoreName [ mode, 4 ] = readString( 1 )
                HighScoreName [ mode, 5 ] = readString( 1 )
                HighScoreName [ mode, 6 ] = readString( 1 )
                HighScoreName [ mode, 7 ] = readString( 1 )
                HighScoreName [ mode, 8 ] = readString( 1 )
                HighScoreName [ mode, 9 ] = readString( 1 )
                 
                HighScoreLevel [ mode, 0 ] = ReadInteger( 1 )
                HighScoreLevel [ mode, 1 ] = ReadInteger( 1 )
                HighScoreLevel [ mode, 2 ] = ReadInteger( 1 )
                HighScoreLevel [ mode, 3 ] = ReadInteger( 1 )
                HighScoreLevel [ mode, 4 ] = ReadInteger( 1 )
                HighScoreLevel [ mode, 5 ] = ReadInteger( 1 )
                HighScoreLevel [ mode, 6 ] = ReadInteger( 1 )
                HighScoreLevel [ mode, 7 ] = ReadInteger( 1 )
                HighScoreLevel [ mode, 8 ] = ReadInteger( 1 )
                HighScoreLevel [ mode, 9 ] = ReadInteger( 1 )
 
                HighScoreScore [ mode, 0 ] = ReadInteger( 1 )
                HighScoreScore [ mode, 1 ] = ReadInteger( 1 )
                HighScoreScore [ mode, 2 ] = ReadInteger( 1 )
                HighScoreScore [ mode, 3 ] = ReadInteger( 1 )
                HighScoreScore [ mode, 4 ] = ReadInteger( 1 )
                HighScoreScore [ mode, 5 ] = ReadInteger( 1 )
                HighScoreScore [ mode, 6 ] = ReadInteger( 1 )
                HighScoreScore [ mode, 7 ] = ReadInteger( 1 )
                HighScoreScore [ mode, 8 ] = ReadInteger( 1 )
                HighScoreScore [ mode, 9 ] = ReadInteger( 1 )

                HighScoreScore [ mode, 9 ] = ReadInteger( 1 )
            next mode

is the same as this:

+ Code Snippet

mode as integer
            for mode = 0 to 2
                for lp = 0 to 9
                    HighScoreName [ mode, lp ] = readString( 1 )
                    HighScoreLevel [ mode, lp ] = ReadInteger( 1 )
                    HighScoreScore [ mode, lp ] = ReadInteger( 1 )
               next lp
            next mode

To achieve this, you need to reorder the way you save your high scores.
You have many examples in your code where you can refactor it in this way.
