Local Leaderboard (Sort List) Help

Unity Engine

Warning the below code is awful and inefficient. I am just trying to do this anyway possible.

I only want 10 scores shown. So I just used 10 GUITexts instead of creating them through code which would be a better solution. I just need to know how to compare these lists and put the scores back into the texts…

I don’t understand IComparable or IComparer. I have an idea of how it works but I can’t seem to figure out how to use it to do what I need it to do.

I’m not one to ask for a code solution usually but I am a bit stumped here.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class HiScoreShow : MonoBehaviour {
	public GUIText hiScoreHere;
	public GUIText hiScoreHere2;
	public GUIText hiScoreHere3;
	public GUIText hiScoreHere4;
	public GUIText hiScoreHere5;
	public GUIText hiScoreHere6;
	public GUIText hiScoreHere7;
	public GUIText hiScoreHere8;
	public GUIText hiScoreHere9;
	public GUIText hiScoreHere10;

Check out this forum post, it’s got a pretty good example on numerical sorting:

will this work with the names too though? I think I need the list to have both name and score as one item. Then sort only the score int and not the Name string…

Yes - I went with the assumption that your current code isn’t optimized, like you said. Ideally you would be using a dictionary or a custom class to store the scoring data, which would allow both a score and a name, and sort from there.
