Just wondering what people do to store their players virtual currency balance ?
In the past I have used Glitch Games GGData library and just stored it locally as a text file but am wondering these days if thats no ideal as people can just edit the text file to give themselves more currency.
I know not everyone would know how to do that but wouldn’t take much searching to find out how.
What other options are there ?

I think that’s about it, unless you want to get into web-based saving options (not a good idea). You can try a simple encoder like Babble if you want, but if someone really can edit the file, they’ll be able to figure out the code eventually.
I don’t believe Apple allows you to edit files in a game’s sandbox (unless, perhaps, your device is jailbroken, in which case…), but I don’t know about Android.
