Hi,

I have loaded a table, and table updates with a new top score when I play the game, but it wont save.

Below is my for the top score code:

Table scoretable;

void setup() {

scoretable = loadTable("topscore2.csv", "header");

}

void draw() {

if(gamescore>scoretable.getInt(0,"score")){

scoretable.setInt(0, "score", gamescore);}

saveTable(scoretable, "topscore2.csv");

}

Any ideas how I get the table to save so that when I close the app and re-open it, the top score is saved?

I'm using android app

Thanks

AFAIK (I haven't used the Table class yet, but that's the general design of Processing), files are read from the data folder of the sketch, but are saved to the sketch folder itself.

You can use something like: saveTable(scoretable, dataPath("topscore2.csv"));

to save back to the data folder. (from memory)

" I'm using android app"

Now, that's another important parameter to take in account! So important, it should have been asked in the Android section of the forum. I can move the topic if you think it is necessary. I don't know much Android programming, but you might need to use an absolute path to the storage area of the Android device.
