Hey guys,
I went through the awesome tutorial on how to save highscores by Peach Pellen, and now I feel I am an expert in the subject. But I was wondering if anyone knew how to reset the data that is saved to the text file? Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated. I have pretty much beaten my head against wall on this subject as much as I can. Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,

Well the answer is “however you want to”.
You know your data. You know what it takes to reset the player to a starting point. Without knowing what you’re saving and how you’re saving it, it’s going to be really hard to give you anything specific.
But lets say you’re saving a table of 10 top scores and you’re saving it as one number on 10 separate lines, then you would set all the scores to 0 and write the scores out.

Oh, that makes sense, so just overwrite the score from before with a 0. Thanks, sorry about the vagueness. I am also trying to get better at explaining myself in posts. You wouldn’t be able to help me with a resolution question too would you? [import]uid: 79586 topic_id: 31546 reply_id: 126113[/import]
