Help add a scoreboard
You would use the UserInfo class to save the score (the person needs to be logged in for this to work) you would take a blank image, get its image and draw the user's name and score to it. If you get stuck there I can cough up a small example at the end of the day if someone else does not do it first.
how do you input the score?
I would keep an integer somewhere where points were added, then when I get the UserInfo object I would put that score in the object in one of it's variables and save it.
ok Thanks
could you post a small example
Sure, I can do that, but I will have to wait until I get home.
Ok here is a score box I have, it simply will list the name and score of the top 10 people - I do not do the nearby stuff because I am lazy:
You cannot see it here, but there is an image (a green square) assigned to this actor (used for placement) that is 297px by 229px, this code will take the image, clear its contents and fill it with the top 10 people.
To Save a Score (any score - you do not have to check if it is the top 10) you do something like this:
above Score is a static class with static methods, the games score is kept there, this code above retrieves the saved score (if any) and compares it to the new score. If the new score is greater than the old one then we save it with the me.store() call.
