TableView insert and save state: Lifeline Like Game

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi I am creating a Lifeline like game and wanted use table view to show the “texts” coming in form the character which a choice at times in a row for the user to pick. 

I can use the sqlite3 database engine and save the texts there and I built a test project where I can access this data and fill a row. 

What I need help or to be pointed in the right direction is when a user is playing but decides to leave the game and come back to it later. I want those rows that were already created and filled to stay that way when they come back. 

The texts I am going to have come in on a timer: do a row render on a timer by sending to a new function each time. or another way thats better, but bottom line is need the already progressed game saved that way till they come back. 

any help is appreciated 

thanks,

Al

You would most likely want to save all of the relevant states of the questions/answers every round/turn/frame, and upon a quit and restart, read back the saved states and render them as you normally would. There’s a tutorial for saving game info to the local device:
