Introduce the
saveValue()function after the preloaded sound files:local saveValue = function( strFilename, strValue ) -- will save specified value to specified file local theFile = strFilename local theValue = strValue local path = system.pathForFile( theFile, system.DocumentsDirectory ) -- io.open opens a file at path. returns nil if no file found local file = io.open( path, "w+" ) if file then -- write game score to the text file...
