What do you mean online games? Like with player vs another player across the web? For that you should use OINC.

Please explain more what you mean?

LB, I think he means that all the examples/tutorials are for online games. He is looking for something for just a game.

yah, i want a local high score system aside from a online one.

You put the high-score object in a separate frame, jump to that once the game is over.

You keep the 'check for hi-score at start' box checked in its options.
In that case - if the player has a hi-score, they are then prompted with a dialog box to enter their name.

The data is saved automatically in a DLL somewhere and that's basically it.

[LB]

The data is NOT saved in a DLL, it's eaither save in the ini file you speify, or in a deafaut one.

That's right, ini file, sorry - not sure why I said dll. Not that that makes a hell of a difference overall.

I read recently that saving it to a path you specify doesn't work so...

This is true!

Well maybe in future you could do it in a more polite way. I didn't see anyone else actually helping the guy out.
