Question

I build a game using Sprite Kit(with swift xCode 6 beta 4) and I need to keep the highest score that the player reached(so just an one Int). I know there is a way to do it u

Answer 1

You can save the highest score in NSUserDefaults. It is used to persist small amount of data and really easy to use.You can save the highest score like

// To save highest score
var highestScore:Int = 20
NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setObject(highestScore, forKey:"HighestScore")
NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().synchronize()

// To get the saved score
var savedScore: Int = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().objectForKey("HighestScore") as Int
println(savedScore)

NSUserDefaults is mainly used for persisting these kind of data like high-score of user.
