Seriously, where are the highscores/characters?

Games

I’ve had Corona for a while and have yet to know how to show high scores or how to select a character without making separate game modules for each character. As in going into the game settings, selecting characters/themes/ what have you. The save/load docs are very dull, every single game tutorial I’ve looked at never goes into this vital detail, and I’ve looked at Ice, Ego, Json, and can’t get anything to work. I know about OpenFient/GREE, but that doesn’t solve my “save/load” problems. Will anyone please explain how this is done?

P.S. Then I try going by what Beebe does but see lines like this

gameSettings["bestScore"] = loadValue( "TiMQGcpCZv.data" )

which leaves me in Narnia. [import]uid: 114389 topic_id: 30431 reply_id: 330431[/import]

Ah thank you! I wish valuable stuff like that would be on learningcorona.com! [import]uid: 114389 topic_id: 30431 reply_id: 121968[/import]

Also there is a working solution which does all that for you: http://developer.coronalabs.com/code/save-data-files-tablesnumbersstringsboolean

ICE doesn’t work any more but his one does and is really simple to use.
