scoreboard with text file? - hellomen - 12-05-2013
Hi there community
I've got a little question and I've no single idea how to make this
I want to save scores in scores.txt (this is simple)
name
score
name
score
now I want to make a high score list (score sort)
but it must be signed with the username (because I already got a register and login)
I want to try it with an array but unsure how to get this step done that the score keeps with the name.
regards,
hellomen

You need a dictionary type structure. A dictionary is an array where the index of the array is the key like the alphabet is the key of a dictionary - suggest username as I assume is unique. Then when you sort names and scores will "stay together".
What language are you trying to implement in?

as the section says python
I am going to use easygui to show it but it's mainly the array listing
and yes the username(s) are identical
and let's this is the score:
a
1
b
5
c
3
the array would be: [a,1,b,5,c,3]
if I sort the usernames it would be a b c
if I sort the score it would be: 1 3 5

http://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/datastructures.html#dictionaries
score = {'a':1, 'b':5, 'c':3}
score['a']
1
score['c']
3
score['b']
5

but how would I get it like that 'c' : 3
out of the text file:
a
1
b
5
c
3
