Keep track of Progress every time the app loads?

[RocketBlaster05]

Hello! I have a process where I want to make it so that whenever the user presses a button, it adds a value to what I'll call "total," and then saves it. Whenever the app loads next, I want it to be able to link its last saved score with a label in a loaded ui view I have set up already. Can anybody help me out with this?

Thanks!

Figured out how to link the text to the label. Still need to know how to make a score keeping system though. Thanks!

@RocketBlaster05 you could save your score in a file, either at each increase, either at close of program. The program would also need to read the file at its begin.

@RocketBlaster05 try

import ui
import os

v = ui.View()
v.background_color = 'white'
fil = 'total.txt'
if os.path.exists(fil):	
	with open(fil,mode='rt') as f:
		tot = int(f.read())
else:
	tot = 0

b = ui.ButtonItem()
b.title = 'increase'
def increase(sender):
	global tot
	tot += 1
	v.name = str(tot)
	with open(fil,mode='wt') as f:
		f.write(str(tot))
b.action = increase
v.right_button_items = (b,)

v.name = str(tot)
v.present()

@cvp Once again thanks for solving yet another of my questions lol. Hopefully this is the last big leap I need to overcome for this app.

@cvp ah nope nevermind I'm probably gonna end up asking something later but I'm not there yet lol. Its going to revolve around setting daily limits to things if you know anything about that.

English is far to be my mother language, sorry, I don't understand your sentence 🤯

@cvp How to make it so that the player can only do something once every day

[cvp]

@RocketBlaster05 you could store in the file, the today date and the total and only enable the button if the stored date is not today

[cvp]

@RocketBlaster05 very quick and dirty. Before running it the first time, remove your current total.txt file

import ui
import os
from datetime import date

v = ui.View()
v.background_color = 'white'
fil = 'total.txt'
if os.path.exists(fil):	
	with open(fil,mode='rt') as f:
		r = f.read()
		t,d = r.split('=')
		tot = int(t)
else:
	tot = 0

b = ui.ButtonItem()
b.title = 'increase'
def increase(sender):
	global tot
	tot += 1
	v.name = str(tot)
	with open(fil,mode='wt') as f:
		f.write(str(tot)+'='+str(date.today()))
b.action = increase
if d == str(date.today()):
	b.enabled = False
v.right_button_items = (b,)

v.name = str(tot)
v.present()

@cvp thanks for the reply! I'll try this code out once I get everything situated.

@RocketBlaster05 Time to bed, good luck

f.write(str(tot)+'='+str(date.today()))

f.write(f"{tot}={date.today()}")  # faster, shorter, easier to read

@ccc I had hesitated because, if I know how to do for the file writing, I don't know how for the file reading in the same kind of way.

PS It is also why I wrote "dirty "
