  You could store the day / time using websorage. Do this when the player closes the app (browser object I think).

  Then when the player loads the game again, check the value in webstorage with the current date / time and calculate how much time has passed since they last played it..

  So if they didn't play the game for 10 hours, and your game gives $1 every hour.. just add 10*1 to their money (obviously money is stored using webstorage too) when the player loads the game.

  That's the simplest method.

  Ahhh seems I might've misunderstood what you wanted. Although my method still works, it might be a bit of overkill...

  Rotate Array With Push and Pop

  Run it, then UP and DOWN arrow keys to "rotate" the array.

  Using this method you can just get the value of a fixed index like..

  DateKeeper = Array.At( 3 )

  Using Pop and Push, the value at (3) will be different.

  Hope that helps!

  Yeah create a box that fills the screen. Fill it with a very dark blue and set it to multiply (effects). Set object opacity to around 80% (depends how dark the box colour is, and how dark you want the scene). I highly doubt you can do this without effects, unless you draw everything manually.

  Oh yeah just noticed you need the final score storing too..

  array( X, 2 ) = finalscore

  REMEMBER to set the Array object size to 3 now. Forgetting to set this, can cause much headaches... I should know ;p

  let's say GlobalText is your global variable..

  +ON START OF LAYOUT

  • SYSTEM SET GlobalText to lowercase( GlobalText )

  Gives you an idea of how to do it

  You need to store the height in the same array object but using Y.

  So like..

  array( X, 0 ) = score .. you got that

  array( X, 1 ) = height

  and don't forget to set the Height (Y ) of the Array object to 2.

  Here's a capx to demonstrate

  Run that, then press S to sort... then SPACE to display the new results

  I agree with shinkan. Seems like you're doing something wrong. The only way to know for sure is post the capx or reproduce the bugs in a smaller test and show that capx.

  Here's something I whipped up fast. Didn't have time to comment it but it's pretty obvious. Could do with a bit of uncluttering, but my head isn't there today

  Clicky Clicky

  UP / DOWN arrow keys = increase / decrease player lives

  right click mouse = add 10 to money

  Assuming you will only have one instance of a word in the text..

  text = "apples;oranges;bananas"

  changedtext = System -> Replace( text, "apples", "kiwis" )

  or just..

  text = System -> Replace( text, "apples", "kiwis" )

  I just used changedtext for clarity.
