Hi, List I'm almost completely new to Lingo but I have a functioning game that I scripted painfully. Ideally, I'd like the game (an .exe on anyone's computer) to access a webserver (I have two of my own sites I could use) and post that person's name and score into an .html page if it's higher than the existing top 10. I should note that if this involves cgi or heavy server-side programming, I'll be completely lost. The only languages I know are HTML and CSS, which hardly count, and now Lingo. If there is some kind of template I could yoink, that'd be great too.
If the web high-score is too complicated for me, is there a simple way to have each copy of the game save a high-score list somewhere on that person's computer? Also, I'm using a text field in the game for keeping score. Is there a way to get the numerical value of the current text in the field? If so, whenever the player does something that should give them points, can I just give that value a +1, for example? All I can get is a string, so when I give it a +1, the new entry in the field is "+1"... I think computers laugh at me when I tell them to do something like that. They know it's not what I want. Any help is appreciated, massive help will result in me being eternally grateful... -- Dave McColgin [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/LUJ/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Lingo-L is for learning and helping with programming Lingo.
