I'm becoming a veteran of this I guess - last year was Irene, this year Sandy. I live in a semi-rural area - which means my water comes from a well. No electricity no water. However, I do live on a lake, so getting water for other use (think flushing...) is only a bucket away.
We stocked up on water - bottled and filled up a number of water jugs - got propane, positioned tools, camping gear, all the other things that need to be done before the storm hits and power goes out for several days.
We lucked out - lost power for a bit over 24 hours - Monday afternoon to Tuesday evening.
So - after the clean up, got back into coding. I extended and refactored our scoring scheme - instead of just using a text file, I found that Lua has a fairly robust support for JSON. It becomes almost trivially easy to have a SQL-less data table get created, read from and written to using the built in JSON library. So I've got the following libraries:
File IO - general functions to read, write and append files; functions to write to and read from Lua tables.
User State - functions that use the File IO library that write or read user state; right now current level and current score, functionality for highest level and score started on.
Player Score - a centralized set of functions that use the User State library to write out or read from the user state tables.
Code has been added to the main.lua as well as the three user level lua files that writes out the user score.
Plan is to further extend this code so as to have the highest level achieved and total accumulated score to also be saved.
