Your explanation was top-notch! Thank you a lot for that! But I have a little question: could I use PlayerPrefs in a namespace instead of a class? Or maybe a static class? Cheers

How do i save bunch of chars in PlayerPreft? Should I save their codes as ints or maybe convert them to single character strings somehow?

[jonathanvukadinovic]

just to let everybody know, there is a default feature for the get functions, this is important when you first load your game because most likely you will have default values

Hmm I don't understand why this isn't working to save my highscore int which is a public static int. I load it on the start of the game and I save it at the game over scene. Any idea???

+Board To Bits Games - will the leaderboard work if different players are playing my game at the same time?

[pixelfuneral]

You can call multiple values, "string[] Highscores = PlayerPrefs.GetString("Highscores", "Bob").Split(', ');" maybe a new feature since this video was released thou.
