Hi Guys,

Was just wondering what the best way to create a database for a game was? This would be for example to store player names, height, strength etc etc.

Also what do you find is the best way to create game saves?

Obviously it will depend on the language you use but just more so trying to figure out the best way of programming it.

Thanks heaps!

I assume you're talking about a multiplayer game. In that case, MySQL or SQLite would be your best bet.

If not, What I do is parsing the data in a file and then encrypt it. I think mainstream games also do this.

Thanks for your responces.

SQL is probably a bit too complex at this stage, but thanks for the idea though.

kianoosh, I like that idea a lot. What do you find is the best method of loading and saving data to the file? I kind of mean what form should the data be in the file to be loaded effectively?
