I want to save some personal info of the player and their scores, what database can I use?.
And is there a way to add or import flash Animation?. because I need it for my 2d Character and for the gui of the game.
Any idea? thanks.

That highly depends on your database needs, but the de facto client side standard is sqlite3. Now, this might or might not fit your bill, so tell us a bit more about your data and what you want to do with is.

Flash... Well, some users here have done something like this, at least for UI. Look into the rally game thread in the projects forum. Not sure about the character though, that again depends on what you want to do. But maybe it's more efficient for you to just stick with flash instead ofw the pain of bridging it into gamestudio?

And a word of warning here: Using a database for "some personal info about the player" is maybe not a good idea. Under normal circumstances I'd recommend the use of a database when the data to be stored cannot be held in random access memory because it's too large. Storing a few values like name and score in a database is just a waste of resources. Don't forget the extra complexity you have to handle as well.


Always learn from history, to be sure you make the same mistakes again...

I need just a simple data manipulation like saving, updating, and deleting of records of the player info, just a basic info of the player.

About flash..,I've already look at the thread but I don't understand anything. I'll try to start at UI (if I can) then I just think later the character.
Maybe I more effecient in using flash but I like more the difficulty that gamestudio brings.


Sorry for my bad english grin

Sorry, but that gives us absolutely no information about the kind of data you want to store and how you want to work with it. As Uhrwerk pointed out, it may very well be that you don't even need a database, if you have simple needs it might just add more overhead than necessary.
You don't have to tell us your game idea or anything, just tell us what data you have, how you want to store it and what you want to do with it once it's persisted. Otherwise it's just guessing for us.
