Roguelike "statsheet" that gets creates when you die?

[Del_Duio]

Hi guys,

I was wondering how I'd go about having the game create a text file every time the player died that would list some of the game's statistics like # of monsters killed, total score, armor found, that sort of stuff. You know, something to look at later if you got some cool loot or whatever.

I'd want the text file to be named whatever class the player chose, his level, and the date.
For example "WARRIOR LV 4: 9-26-12"

I know the game Spelunky creates a stat sheet like this when you die, I was hoping it'd be possible in MMF2 too.

Thanks!

EDIT: That gets creates.. Oh man, this story is happy end!

What part are you having trouble with?
This should be pretty easy with just a simple edit box or list object.
eg. AppDir$ + Class + " LV " + str$(Level) + ": " + str$(day of month of( "Date & Time" )) + "-" + str$(month of( "Date & Time" )) + "-" + str$(year of( "Date & Time" )) + ".txt"

Oh Jesus, I didn't even think of using a listObject for something like this but you're right that'd be really simple.

Thanks MM!!

Off topic, but Spelunky is a fantastic game. It's free on PC and the 360 version is pretty cool as well with some nice additions.

Yeah it sure is, I haven't played it in maybe a year and a half but IIRC I had 1 win and over 800 deaths. Most of those came from me trying to get to the lost city of gold, where you have to get / do some times in a certain order.

Never played the 360 version of it but I do remember when Yu said he was working on the port. I kind of liked the PC graphics over the "better" ones, but he's a fantastic artist I'm sure it came out great in the end.

Yeah the 360 graphics are nice but I also like the retro 8 bit graphics of the original too. They are both good in different ways.
