Re: pickle: Tried to look into how to use this - looks like it involves opening/closing files...? and dumping? and usr bins? ha ha. LOST. This might have to be another thread!
Pickle is simple enough.
#################
import pickle
filename = "myfile.txt" ## Change this with an appropriate filename
f1 = open(filename,"w")
highScoreList = [(200,"Jacob"),(175,"Diane"),(100,"Gary")] ## This is your highscore list
pickle.dump(f1,highScoreList)
f1.close()
##################
and then to retrieve the list, even after the program closes
##################
import pickle
filename = "myfile.txt" # This has to be the same filename as before
f1 = open(filename,"r") highScoreList = pickle.load(f1)
f1.close() #####################
HTH,
Jacob
