I’m developing a quiz game and I want to save the progress… Actually I use sharedsettings, is easy and fast, but the user can delete program files and lose the progress. Same happens with a database. I should use a file? I’m only interesting to save a boolean for each question: “correct answered or not?”
Thank you!!
SharedSettings. And you’re already using it. It’s very difficult to save a user from his/herself. If it’s on the device then it can be destroyed either stupidly or maliciously. And don’t forget that everything is a file and there’s nothing you can put on the device that will be hack/idiot proof.
The only way to get around this would be to store user settings off the device via something like a web service (and backing database.) But I would say that if you’re using SharedSettings… you’re OK. Leave it at that. I would only consider using an app-specific db if you expect the number of question you track to grow to a very large size and want more control over the data.
