Does C archive functions work on PPC like on PC?

[Marcelo_jampa]

I'm trying to store the score of the players in an archive in the Pocket PC. Can i use C Standard archive functions like we do on a normal computer?

The functions SaveVars and LoadVars actually work on PPC.

Does savevars save a variable?
So like SaveVars(myvariable);?
Can this be used for high scores?

As I understand it, GE v.1.28 will have an "Input Actor" that will allow you to easily get a user's input. Until 1.28 gets here though, it is probably only through using C programming that you can create something that will proccess a user's input.

You might be able to come up with something by scripting something to get a user's input and then reading and writing the user's name to a file.

Here are a couple of threads that deal with reading and writing to files:

Unless you are pretty comfortable with C programming, I'd wait for the new version. It should be out soon. HTHs.
