Managing HighScore with Unity's PlayerPrefs

#gamedev

In the last couple of days, I added a way to save the high-score in my game using Unity's PlayerPrefs API.

Also, I improved the end screen of the game.

PlayerPrefs Usage

Using the PlayerPrefs API is very simple. Here's my high-score saving logic looks like:

private bool SaveHighScore(int newScore)
{
    int highScore = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("HighScore", 0);
    bool gotNewHighScore = newScore > highScore;

    if (gotNewHighScore)
    {
        PlayerPrefs.SetInt("HighScore", newScore);
        PlayerPrefs.Save();
    }

    return gotNewHighScore;
}
