How to make high score save in game? xcode - ios

Question

I am making a small game for iOS in Xcode. In my game, tapping on a dot will give you one point. I am trying to make it so that if your score is higher than the first high score(0), it should save that and display the new high score. And the next score can beat that, and so on. Please give a thorough explanation because I am new to xCode and I am a 12 year old app developer.

Answer 1

If your do not find your score data important or sensitive use NSUserDefaults
First scene: (Setting the integer)
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[defaults setInteger:yourHighScore forKey:#"HighScore"];
Other scenes: (Getting the integer)
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
yourHighScore = [defaults integerForKey:#"HighScore"]
Or same scene setting the yourHighScore value: (Getting the integer)
-(void)viewDidLoad {
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
yourHighScore = [defaults integerForKey:#"HighScore"]
}

Answer 2

NSInteger HighScore;
int Score;
IBOutlet UILabel *Show;
-(void)ViewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
HighScoreNumber = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] integerForKey:#"HighScoreSaved"];
}
-(void)ShowHighScore
{
if (Score > HighScore) {
HighScore = Score;
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setInteger:HighScore forKey:#"HighScoreSaved"];
}
Show.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%li", HighScore];
}
