How do I Save my specific info the right way

Hi Guys,

So after a while of not producing anything anymore i'm back in Construct 2 to create a little piece of software that can be used for my poker tournaments.

It's for personal use only so there is no need for 100% "the right way". If it simply works i'm satisfied.

I need to write away some (permanent) info. One of the things i'm stuck with now is creating the players as data.

Remember, this is going to be a piece of software, not a game. So when i say player i mean a real life player as in data.

It should be like:

Player 1

Balance: 50

Games played: 6

Ranking: 4

Player 2

Balance: 500

Games played: 16

Ranking: 1

Now i thought i should use an Array for this but i am no pro at this kind of stuff and to be honest i'm not sure how to write this away.

Some factors are: There can be unlimited players so i can't set an exact size of an array. Each player has multiple data inputs.

What i am trying to reach is something like:

;Player2,500,16,1] ( this is not actually a format, it's just so you can understand what's going on in my brain ).

In an other format it would simply look like:

Player1,50,6,4

Player2,500,16,1

This data should be used later on.

So long story short, i guess i need an array but i don't know how to add multiple data for each user. Players are actually creating in the application itself. So once clicking the "add player" button it should be able to create a new row with the x amount of columns that will contain the data as shown above.

Good to know is that it will be exported as NWjs. So i got a lot freedom as in how it's done.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Often people will use CSV format for this then use the CSV plugin to import the data into the game. Not got a lot of experience with using this method but there should be some info around. In terms of the array, you never need to set a specific size, you can 'push' items into an array at the back so in reality it has an unlimited size.

I will surely take a look at CSV right away! Thanks for the tip. The thing is that all data can be edited and will be edited on the fly. So i need a nice way to edit and save this stuff. Now the loading and saving is not something i'm worried about i'll figure that out.
