iPhone: Making a simple high score system using SQLite -


i want make simple highscore system game. no posting online, storing best scores on device, maybe being able share them on twitter or that.

my table this:

create table highscores ( name varchar(10), score int ) 

and want find easy way retrieve name, score , order score descending, returning top 5.

select name, score highscores order score desc limit 0, 5 

i tried this, following sqlite tutorial: http://dblog.com.au/iphone-development-tutorials/iphone-sdk-tutorial-reading-data-from-a-sqlite-database/

i created database, set up, tried make own wrapper, got following problems:

  • it worked loading score, loading name, tried convert nsstring* in tutorial, wouldn't work, returned 0 though had set name "johannes"
  • if navigated away scores page, , menu, , clicked on scores page again app crashed.

any ideas? i'm stressed can't find online this. :[

dude... overkill.

just save data in object or array, save , restore object betweens sessions use nsuserdeafults.

to order data. use predicates. failing sort self. http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/cocoa/conceptual/predicates/articles/pusing.html

seriously don't waste anytime getting app live. "fail quickly", means figure out doesn't work , run works , make awesome. nothing worse spending days/weeks on app might make few bucks.

hope help.
