Local High Score System

RGonzalezTech commented 8 months ago

Summary

We can store this information in some form of cache, if available. The game is primarily meant to publish to HTML/Browser. I can test working with the web JavascriptBridge to write to localStorage, or user:// to store serialized data. Not sure which would be best/workable.

I should implement the high score system before I review the systems that are in-place and create their documentation.

So far, I've implemented a singleton / autoload class that will load and save the list of leaderboard entries to a .json file in the user:// directory. This will allow us to persist it. We will only store the top 10 leaderboard entries, any other are ignored/omitted.

To add a UI for this, we require:

[ ] Create a checkIfQualifiedEntry(score) -> bool function that will tell us if the score makes it to be displayed in the leaderboard
[ ] Create an addEntry(score, label, time) -> void function that will add and sort the entry to the list.
[ ] Create a leaderboard panel that displays all leaderboard entries
[ ] Add a main menu button to see the leaderboard
[ ] Show the leaderboard on Game Over?
