Hello,

I am having problems with saving score and highscore. I have found a way for it but for that to work I need to copy score.txt and highscore.txt to the system.DocumentsDirectory / sandbox folder.

I currently have both of these files in my game folder with other assets. How can I check to see if these files exists their? if they don’t copy/move from here ? Thanks
