I want to have local high scores on my game. I have tried to use some examples in code exchange, but i havent understanded them.
Basically i need to save numbers and load them again. I have thinked something like this: I have 10 different variable saved, which is like top 10 list. When i play my game and get score, if it is higher than example variable 5, but smaller than variable 4, then save it to variable 5. And if i close my game those variables doesnt destroy.
And then i have high score list, where those 10 variables are loaded.
Please help me. [import]uid: 18445 topic_id: 7943 reply_id: 307943[/import]
I have just made this, maybe it’s not the best way but it works:
local ui = require ("ui")
--Create default scores
local scores = {}
for i = 1, 10, 1 do
scores[i] = math.random(1,10)
end
local place = {}
for i = 1, 10, 1 do
place[i] = ui.newLabel {
text = i..".",
textColor = {255, 255, 255, 255},
size = 50,
align = "left",
bounds = {0, 10, display.contentWidth/5, 40},
};
place[i].x = display.contentWidth/8
if i == 1 then
place[i].y = display.contentHeight/7
else
place[i].y = place[i-1].y + 80
end
end
--Create all lists in an array
local list = {}
--Place lists and set their scores
for i = 1, 10, 1 do
list[i] = display.newText(scores[i], 0, 0, native.systemFontBold, 50)
list[i].x = display.contentWidth/2
if i == 1 then
list[i].y = display.contentHeight/7+40
else
list[i].y = list[i-1].y + 80
end
end
--Sort the scores
local function sort()
for i = 1, 5, 1 do
for i = 10, 1, -1 do
print(scores[i-1])
if i\>1 then
if scores[i] \> scores[i-1] then
local tempScore = scores[i]
scores[i] = scores[i-1]
scores[i-1] = tempScore
end
end
end
--Update the list
print (scores[i])
for i = 1, 10, 1 do
list[i].text= scores[i]
end
end
end
local btn = display.newImage("image.png")
btn:addEventListener("touch", sort)
Thanks for help, but that isnt exactly, what i am looking for. Your code mades top 10 list. I need, that i can save scores, so when i close my game and then relaunch, i can load scores again. So they doesnt destroy. I am not professional, so could someone help me littlebit. [import]uid: 18445 topic_id: 7943 reply_id: 28475[/import]
Well I dont know how to do it since I can’t test my game on a real device yet.
But please tell me if you find a solution. [import]uid: 24111 topic_id: 7943 reply_id: 28478[/import]
Thanks. I tried it and it works almost perfectly. I have just one problem: printing scores. print(#scores) works in command shell, but when i am trying to show scores in my game screen, it doesnt work. It only show number of scores i have saved. Here is my code for showing scores:
It shows numbers in command shell, not in the game. I want to that there is top 10 high score list, where numbers are shown.
I quite new corona developer, so what does this mean:
for i, s in ipairs(scores) do
local addedAt = lime.formatTimestamp(s.timestamp)
print(s.score, addedAt)
end
It didnt work with that piece of code. I just get error: lime.lua:124: attempt to index upvalue ‘scoresFile’ a nil value [import]uid: 18445 topic_id: 7943 reply_id: 28493[/import]
local scores = lime.localScores({
level = 52,
difficulty = “hard”
})
list = {}
for i, s in ipairs(scores) do
local addedAt = lime.formatTimestamp(s.timestamp)
print(s.score, addedAt)
list[i] = display.newText(s.score…" " … addedAt, 0, 0, native.systemFontBold, 50)
if i > 1 then
list[i].y = list[i-1].y + 50
end
end
– clear all scores for a level,
lime.clear({
level = 52,
difficulty = “hard”
})
Very big thanks to you! It works perfectly, but i have still one small problem: i use director in my game and now score texts doesnt disappear. Normaly text has “name”, but now there are list[i]
And localGroup:insert(list[i]) doesnt work. So how i have to do it, that it works with director? [import]uid: 18445 topic_id: 7943 reply_id: 28497[/import]
list[i] = display.newText(s.score.." " .. addedAt,display.contentWidth/7, display.contentHeight/6,nil, 40)
if i \> 1 then
list[i].y = list[i-1].y + 50
end
localGroup:insert(list[i])
Right:
[code]
list[i] = display.newText(s.score…" " … addedAt,display.contentWidth/7, display.contentHeight/6,nil, 40)
localGroup:insert(list[i])
if i > 1 then
list[i].y = list[i-1].y + 50
