Does anybody have any suggestions on how to save the scores after one has completed a game level? I want to save them so i can display them in an opengl window for the user to view, any ideas or code would be appreciated, thanks

Write them out to a binary file
Assuming in a simple example your high scores are an array of integers


int g_nHighScores[MAX_HIGHSCORES];


Open the binary file:

FILE* f = fopen( "Highscores.dat", "w+b" );
if( !f )
return SOME_ERROR;

Write the data:

fwrite( g_nHighScores, sizeof( int ) * MAX_HIGHSCORES, 1, f );

Close the file:

fclose( f );

Now, to load them back in do:

FILE* f = fopen( "Highscores.dat", "r+b" );
if( !f )
return SOME_ERROR; //No highscores.dat file found....

Read the data:

fread( g_nHighScores, sizeof( int ) * MAX_HIGHSCORES, 1, f );

close the file:

fclose( f );

Yep binary file
------------------------------
void LoadScores()
{
FILE *f=fopen( "hscores.dat", "rb" );
int i;

if( f!=NULL )
{
for( i=0; i<10; i++ )
{
fread( &highscores, sizeof(Highscore), 1, f );
}
fclose(f);
}
else
{
for( i=0; i<10; i++ )
{
wsprintf( highscores.name, "%s", "my name" );
highscores.score=0;
}
}


}

void SaveScores()
{
FILE *f=fopen( "hscores.dat", "wb" );
int i;

if( f!=NULL )
{
for( i=0; i<10; i++ )
{
fwrite( &highscores, sizeof(Highscore), 1, f );
}
fclose(f);
}
}

int CheckScore()
{
for( int i=0; i<10; i++ )
{
if( player.score>highscores.score )
{
for( int j=9; j>i; j-- )
{
highscores[j]=highscores[j-1];
}
highscores.score=player.score;
return i;
}
}

return -1;
}
