Thanks again Klaus

I just copied your snippet so I can go and play around with it.

This folder path stuff has me baffled but I should be able to figure it out now.

Thank you Klaus

Hi Klaus

Thanks for that, sometimes it's hard to see the wood for the trees.
I had it installing into program files (*86)

Regards, Jon

I compiled my stacks into a standalone exe with two stacks outside of the exe in order to save hi scores.

Now in the IDE the hi scores are saved when I close the hi score stack and re-open it, the compiled exe file does the same.Thats good it all works.

When I use inno setup or ...

Thank you Klaus

Is it best to put empty into a local? Even though it will receive another put later.
What I mean is does it have any affect on performance if lots of variables have something in them unnecessarily?


Thank you, Jon

Hi
I am a beginner/hobbyist

I would like some advice please, I have never used livecode to upload or download via ftp.

I have a stand alone game with hi scores feature. It works well in the standalone.
I can create a web page on my server called hiscores.html

What i need is a user to be able to ...

Hi Klaus

Yes I can see how it works when I go through your //explanations

One by one.

I'll try it on Tuesday.

Many thanks to all, Jon

Hmmm

Just a thought, I want to eventually allow users to post hi Scores to a web page, so may not be a good idea to delete a players score that has the same name

because any player could then delete a players score simply because they have the same name but a lower score, I think I should include ...

Craig

if word 1 of line y of temp = word 1 of line (y -1) of temp then delete line y of temp

Because it would delete itself if it went top down? or maybe because it's now wednesday? :oops:

put fld "showHiScores" of stack Scores into temp
repeat with y = the number of lines of temp down to 1 ...

Is it so the highest score with that name will not be deleted?

Love the sense of humour guys, I will play about with all the posted code simply to learn more.

Thanks, as always to all of you, one day in my next life I may be able to work it out myself.
And because the highest score is needed to be kept?

Hi

I am putting names and scores into a fld,

so if the cHiScoreName is already in the fld I need to delete the line that contains the same name in the fld before I update with new data
I am having problems working out how to delete the line.


set the cHiScore of fld "alltimehighScorefld" to ...

Thanks Klaus will do

Hi
Has anyone used franklin 3d and is it good for hobbyists livecoders that want to make games?

The only code I use is livecode, so I would not want to learn other languages.

Please share your experiences with it in regards to livecode.

Thank you, Jon
