the code below is for a level select menu, my questionis how would i call this so that, for example, i beat level one, how would i call this in level one to change the levels table so that instead of showing a locked screen, it sunlocks?
would it be something like, levels[1]=3 levels[2]=1 where 1 is unlocked and 3 is completed? im not sure how to calling this code file into my level one

Hi @duracakn10,
Going back to your primary question, there are virtually any number of ways you could store data for each level. Personally, I would recommend just populating a main “levels” table with a bunch of sub-tables, and each sub-table has a set of key-value pairs, for example:
[lua]
local levels = {
{ unlocked=true, name=“The Shire” },
{ unlocked=false, name=“Rivendell” },
{ unlocked=false, name=“Mount Doom” },
}
[/lua]
This way, you have every level easily accessible by its index number, and by using key-value pairs, you can add any amount of additional information to each sub-table (for example, maybe you need to store that level’s high score, awards earned in that level, etc.).
Then, accessing a bit of info just involves drilling down into that sub-table:
[lua]
print( levels[1].unlocked )
print( levels[1].name )
– etc.
[/lua]
Hope this helps,
Brent
