Way to check if scenario is being played on the Gallery?

I want my game to save to userInfo only if it's being played on the gallery, and to save to a .dat file if not. Is there a method to check for this?

If you can write to a file, you are not on the gallery.

If you consider within the Greenfoot workspace equivalent to being on the gallery (which is the assumption when working with UserInfo), then yes - use the method isStorageAvailable()

Another way: 
private boolean isRunningAsApplet()
{
    return null != System.getSecurityManager();
}
I think this is probably the most reliable. I can't remember what Greenfoot.isStorageAvailable() returns if someone is running an applet on the site without being logged in, but I think it is probably false.
