Making your own hi score table

[Redsquirrel]

I'm having trouble with the built in hi score object. Has anyone got any tutorials/info on how to make one from scratch?

I want it to work on the IOS as well, but ini works fine on that so thats the best way for me to go.

I'm sure i found some examples but spent a good amount of time looking last night with no joy!

thanks in advance..

Simply put, you would have your data (like 500-John Doe,600-Jane) in some of format. This format would be up to you. For example commas might separate different scores, dashes the score from the name,etc. After you have your format, you would parse through the data. Then you would put each element into a string and boom high scores.

For example take the following data table

{
300-Sam,200-RINGO,600-Flaps
}

The initial parse would get how many elements (high scores) there are. The delimiter (what differentiates each scores) would be the comma ','.

So after the parse you would have the following 3 elements

1. 300-Sam
2. 200-RINGO
3. 600-Flaps

At this point you would sort the strings ascending or descending. (In this case I will descend)
So now the "list" looks like this (keep in mind this is not an physical list)

1. 600-FLAPS
2. 300-Sam
3. 200-RINGO

At this point you would/could is loop through all of the elements. In this loop you would use another String Parser object and parse with your secondary parser; the '-' in this case. After the secondary parse you would get 2 elements for each line of the previous list.

1. 600 2. FLAPS
1. 300 2. Sam
1. 200 2. RINGO

At this point during the loop, just change the alterable string (the one that will be displayed) to the order that you want the elements to be in. For example you could have it be element 1 followed by element 2 or vice versa.

If you wanted to have "TOP X" highscores, you would just do the loop a fixed amount of times.

After all of that, boom you should have your hi-score table.

I will give it a go=)

Ideally, i wanted to perhaps make a onscreen keyboard as well. See, the problem i am having is that the high score object is causing my IOS app to crash on my iphone. Works on ipad! Very strange. This is the only solution i could really think off.

I created this system to give more control, and that works with Android and IOS

hello, download the file "*. MFA" below and see how to create your own system of "HI-SCORE". it is complicated to understand but more efficient than the original but also more opportunity and control.

Own system of HI-SCORE is very good but the function SHOW KEYBOARD
does not work in Android 4.2.
In the default object HI-SCORE, it is vice versa.
