I have a question about saving information for use within the game

Hapy512

Hi there! I've been using Gamesalad off and on for the past couple of months, and decided to try re-create the old electronic game "Simon" to help me learn better. I have run into some snags however.

(Simon was a simple memorization game where the game would spit out a random sequence of colors/tones and you needed to repeat it in order to proceed to the next level. Each time you correctly returned a sequence, it gave you a new, longer sequence).

Basically, I have a random sequence generator going, and it is spitting out a random sequence of colors for the player to press. This part works just fine for now. However, I have no idea how to track the random colors and store that information later.

Can anyone help me out with this? Maybe there is a template or tutorial somewhere that covers this kind of thing?

Thanks for any help in advance!

@Hapy512 use the writable tables. For every game play, have a table to record and write sequences (whatever, logic u using to generate them) to them. Save these tables for use.

For eg. If u have a 6 touch memory sequence, with sequences generated as... 1=a, 2=d, 3=b, 4=e, 5=k, 6=a.. then create a new row, keep no. of columns equal to the no. of sequence.. then write this info to the table. Read as, Game No. 556 has its sequence saved in Table 'History', and Row No. '556', with the order as.. col 1 = a.. and so on..

Hope that helps. Lemme know if it has reached paris instead of london.

(P.S. Would like to know, why is it that u wud like to save a randomly generated pattern)
