How do I add high scores from multiple levels together?

Hi. I searched for this for a few days and haven't yet found an answer. I have my game set up so it will show the high score on each level when playing the level. My localstorage is "highscore" &layoutname. I have my level layouts in a level folder and are named 1,2,3, etc. All that works.

But what I want to add is a total of the high scores on the level select screen. For example, if I get a score of 10 on level 1 and 20 on level 2, the total score will say 30. If I go back to level 1 and get a score of 11, the total score should say 31 not 41. I don't know how to load all the high scores from all the levels and then add them together to show the total score. I can't figure out what code to write.

Is there a way to get localstorage of the high scores from all the levels then add them together so I can set the text to display the total score? I would be grateful for any help on this.

Hi auramatt,

For this you're best off saving an array to Local Storage. I've been meaning to work out how to do this for myself for while so thanks for the push <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile"> I've created an example here:

I haven't had a chance to add comments to it (in a bit of a rush) and it can probably be tidied up a bit/made more versatile, but it does the job. Try running it a few times to see how it stores the hiscores for each level and then updates them when you next run the project.

There are also a few tutorials that might help you with other ways to go about it; the second one uses the old Web Storage but you can convert it for Local:

Let me know if you need a better explanation and I'll upload a new version with comments. Hope that helps! <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

Great. Thank you! I'll check these out over the next couple days.

I got it working. Your capx was very helping for me to finally understand using arrays. Thank you so much!
