Array tutorial - Save and Load Data / Strings n Numbers

[sroesner]

You are so nice, and I truly appreciate your time! The people on this forum are wonderful. I'm so sorry I'm not communicating very well. Say you have a class of third graders playing the game on iPads. Johnny, Susie, and Mike are using IPad 1. Emma is using IPad2. Is there a way for Susie to continue the game by selecting her name from a list and having it load all of her scores. When Johnny gets the same iPad he can get into his game where he left off by choosing his name from the list. Emma does the same on iPad2. Then the teacher could select names from the list to see the scores of all of the students played on any iPad. I saw something about creating individual ini files for each student? I was hoping there was a way to store all of the kids' data maybe in groups or arrays into one file. It is a multiplication game where I need to store their pretest and posttest info to see if the game makes a difference.

well if ya need to access the data from different devices, the best way is probably using a mySQL database instead. The online highscore tutorial by Jeff is probly the best choice. I'll make an example later on today. here is the link to the tutorial:

I have gone through all of the MySQL tutorials. I understand how to fetch data from the database into fusion to display and edit data within the database on the Webhost. I don't want the students to enter their scores on the screen. When the last frame of the game ends, I need it to save the player's name and scores directly to the database. Since I already had my ini files saving data, I have tried just saving the player name from the ini file to the database, but I am not having any luck. Is there any way you could post an example mfa?

Had it working hit and miss and was about to pull my hair out wondering what I was doing wrong - then I saw the post from PiscesDreams about it being banned by AT&T. I have AT&T. I'm shopping for a new web host now.
