Question regarding Localstorage/Webstorage/Dictionary

Hello everyone, I'm working on a quiz game, you can check out some of my tweets regarding it (twitter.com/donrifgames). It will have at least 900 questions (I handle questions by XML, but I have to duplicate the same layout 900 times!....maybe i'm doing it wrong, can I keep one layout and change informations on it everytime?)

So that causes some slowness, I have found some framerate issues on iOS: the localstorage is too slow, the app works fine but it takes time to retrieve saved data. On Android, the asynchronous problem seems to work better than on iOS, though i have not fully tested it on Android.

I have seen a post by sqiddster where he suggests to save variables/arrays in a dictionary and load the dictionary on startup with the localstorage plugin. I didn't seem to understand how exactly.

Your help will be much appreciated!

If you are creating 900 layouts for 900 questions you are definitely doing something wrong. You should work on the 1 layout solution.

Storing 900 values in localstorage shouldn't run out of the space limit.

That's exactly why I thought, but I want to move between questions and it doesn't seem to work when I make "Restart layout" and I change values according to the XML. Any tips?

Well not much anyone can do without a glimpse of your code. You should provide a .capx file. I'm not saying that I'll definitely have time to look into it, but you increase the chance of getting help by providing a code example with the problem.

Alright, thanks, my code is a bit too long and complicated, i'll try to do a simplified capx for the example.

simple example:

sample_questions.xml

QuizXML.capx

simple example:

sample_questions.xml

QuizXML.capx

Thanks very much korbaach, I managed to do it simply by changing a variable according to the XML.

The red underlined variable is the key: I created a layout named "1" and I add 1 to the variable level_number to pass to the next question.

The "q" node in the XML is what controls which question you are in.

Concerning the WkWebview, I can't load images from XML using "Load image from URL" on iOS, i read this post by Ashley (https://www.scirra.com/blog/ashley/25/h ... -wkwebview) but I can't quite understand if there's a solution to it or not. Anyone can help me ?

Edit: nevermind amigos, i found the solution: loading-files-not-working-with-wkwebview_p1072160?

I had the 233 C2 version too, it was corrected since then! <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">
