How do I attach a name to a high score?

How do I:

1. Attach a string of letters to a high score

2. Limit the characters my players can use on said string

And I also would like to know how do I implement letting my players type their letters through their digital keyboards in their mobile devices.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

anybody?

Hey Importuno!

You just have to save two values instead of one. As I understand you already save the scores to a high score table (by whatever method you use), so, instead, you'd save two values, the scores and player names.

If you use a one-dimensional array to save the highscores (like highscores = [100000, 80000, 60000, 40000, 20000]), you should now use a two-dimensional array (like highscores = [[100000, "IMP"], [80000, "BP"], [60000, "DOP"], [40000, "ASH"], [20000, "NWB"]]).

Regarding the limitation of length, you could use a TextBox object, which already alows players to type using their mobile phone's native keyboard, and limit its length by using a "On text changed" event like below:

[TextBox  |  On text changed] [Set text to left(TextBox.Text, 3)]
[/code:1mzstzzq]

In this case I'm limiting the length to 3.

Hope this helps. Cheers!
