Spoonweaver (the game) is basically a pacman clone. nuff said right? Good.

I wasn't planning to release this yet, but the highscore script has driven me insane. If any can get it to work please be my guest. I'm going to release it open source. txt file and all. I only made 1 level, but I set up a loop so it'll keep going. Have fun!

What about the high score script has driven you insane?

o, trying to make them stay after you turn the game off. I think I may have gone about it in the wrong way. Meaning, I'd basically have to start all over again. So i gave up.

Try using import globals and export globals to write high score globals to a save file so that you have a way of actually keeping high score.

The problem really lies in the flow of the game. I don't want the player to have to load their highscores everytime manually, but a script that loads a game everytime you start a game becomes an infinite loop. Thats the real problem.

I thought that was what import globals was for? To load up a set of globals from a saved game without needing to load that save.

well, ok. I've never heard of these import globals. There I said it. Happy?

lol

Actually hearing you describe them basically, solves the problem for me.

Edit: all fixed now, thank you. of course I'm still releasing it. But now the new improved version is out.

My high score: 182 (3rd level)

The map was a bit flawed, you could just hide and wait in a pretty safe spot for good odds. And no power pills? Well, the title screen was nice.

(You can write "import globals (1)" instead of "import globals (1,1,1)". I hoped that was clear)
