ICE trouble

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hey all,

I have been using the Ice module by GrahamRanson and have run into a problem. At the end of the game, the score is saved. Then, in another menu, the lowest current score can be seen. Then only problem is that after a couple of hours of not playing the game, the values are set back to zero. Here is some of my code:

In the game I:
[lua]—Set up my Icebox—
require( “ice” )
local scores = ice:loadBox( “scores” )
—Saves the score—
scores:store( “best”, (scores:retrieve(“best”)))
scores:storeIfLower( “best”, (finalPTS))
scores:save()[/lua]
In the Scores menu I:
[lua]–load my Icebox
local scores = ice:loadBox( “scores” )
—Set up some vars—
if scores then
easyT = (scores:retrieve(“best”))
end
—Determine what the text should say—
if easyT == nil or easyT == 0 or easyT == 5000 then
easyTime.text = “—”
else
easyTime.text = (easyT)
end[/lua]
I have no idea what the problem could be. If you need more code I can probably dig it out… Any suggestions would be*

Hi,

In ice.lua try replacing the IceBox:storeIfLower() function with this:

  
--- Saves a value in the icebox if it is lower than the one already in there.  
-- @param name The name of the value to add.  
-- @param value The value to save.  
-- @return The stored value.  
-- @return True if it was added, false if not.  
function IceBox:storeIfLower( name, value )  
  
 local added = false  
  
 if name then  
  
 local currentValue = self:retrieve( name ) or 0  
  
 if currentValue then  
  
 if value \< currentValue then  
 self.\_items[name] = value  
 added = true  
 self.\_header.modified = os.time()  
 end  
  
 else  
 self.\_items[name] = value  
 added = true  
 self.\_header.modified = os.time()  
 end  
  
 end  
  
 if self:isAutomaticSavingEnabled() then  
 self:save()  
 end  
  
 return added, value  
  
end

See if that helps. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 18685 reply_id: 71863[/import]

Awesome, glad it worked.

I have checked in the change to the repo now as well for other people. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 18685 reply_id: 72026[/import]

Hi Graham,

I am trying to use the ftp helper and it partially works. I am trying to upload an image and it creates the file name on my server but stops there with 0K as the file size. This is for Android. Any suggestions?

Thanks!!
