how do you implement high-scores and menus into my lua game?(it isnt realeased to the public just yet)
also i need a GFX guy

and some guys were impersonating me as (Unregistered)

[Realn0whereman]

highscore is like

define a variable of points... so after u die something like
IF points > Old points then highscore = points

and menu can be like if pad:cross then start game... or if pad:cross then option+1

[psphacker12.]

would it be like
option+1 = ???

Go to evilmana.com and go to the Lua CodeBase. There are many little menu tutorials there. As for the highscore. Try this.
First create a .txt file. Something like "highscore.txt"
At the very beginning you want to do this:

high = io.open("highscore.txt"," r")
highscore = high:read()
high:close()

Now you want a variable for your points.

points = 0

Now when the game is over, do this.

if points > highscore then
high2 = io.open("highscore.txt"," w")
high2:write(points)
high2:close()
end

This will save the highscore to the .txt file, and it will load the highscore next time you play.

Take a look at the Snake game that comes with Luaplayer for Windows. Snake has (code for) an options/menu screen, single line saving, and multiple line saving.

Or just check tutorial 9 for ProgramLua.

Pretty much, keep the score in a variable... Then when the game is complete ro whenever you want to save the score use dofile() to save it into another .txt file

I think it's

font = Font.load(DATA/FONT/font.ttf)

You don't need to put FONT twice. And I think to print with that font, you need to do something like:

screen:fontPrint(proporti onal, 0, 20, "Hello", blue)

I think it's like that. I've never used a ttf font. I'll check up on it later, but for now I have to go.
