Hello I wanted to ask how I can Save the int below in the Text because someone has an idea?

```auto
int score = 0;

void setup(){
  orientation(PORTRAIT);
}

void draw(){
  background(0);
  fill(#FFFFFF);
  textSize(75);
  text(score, displayWidth/2, displayHeight/12);
}

void mousePressed(){
  ++score;
  fill(0);
  rect(0, 0, displayWidth, displayHeight);
}

```

Hello

Do you want to save the score on hard drive and load it next time?

@Rogo === supposing that you want to save the last score:

- you create a .text file that you put in your data folder; at this point you write in your text file 0 as the first score;
- when launching the app you get this file and read it with loadStrings();
- when exiting the app you save the new score to the same file (replacing the first one only if the last is \> than the first. This can be done using the onPause();

You can’t use same name for int AND string.  
Use for instance :  
String score\_str;  
int score\_int;

Did you declare the variable “int score\_int;” as global on the top of your sketch?
