Code: 
var/savefile/SaveFile = new("players.sav")

mob/Write(savefile/F)
   F["key"]   << key
   F["score"] << score
mob/Read(savefile/F)
   F["key"]   >> key
   F["score"] >> score
   

    
mob/proc/savescore()
    Write()
    ..()
mob/proc/readscore()
    Read()
    ..()
</dm

<dm>


Problem description:
I am trying to very simply record a score, and then spit it back out by calling the proc later. Yes, I realize this is an ultra pathetic attempt. Please help!

Well, you're loading the score variable to the players 'gender' variable for starters.

Hehehe

Alright, fixed that, what's next?

When you call Write() and Read(), you don't pass a savefile as an argument. So put SaveFile there.

mob/proc/savescore()
    var/savefile/F = new("players.sav") //Access the savefile
    F["key"]   << key //Write the info
    F["score"] << score
mob/proc/readscore()
    var/savefile/F = new("players.sav") //Access the savefile
    F["key"]   >> key //Read the info
    F["score"] >> score

I was wondering, how could I record more than one key to the savefile and the key's score, and then how would I figure out what score is highest, and spit out the top 10 of them?

Look up a scoreboard demo.

In order to store them to one file, when ever you want the save to happen you should call a proc which creates/updates the savefile.

mob/var/score = 500

mob/verb/Savemyscore()
     SaveScore(usr.score, usr.key)
     usr << "Score saved"

proc/SaveScore(score, key)
    var/savefile/F = new("highscores.scores")
    var/list/currentdata = list()    
    F["scores"] >> currentdata //put everything already in the savefile to a list
    if(currentdata.Find(key)) //if we used to be in the savefile
        var/old = currentdata[key] //our old data
        currentdata -= old //remove the old data so that it can be updates
    var/list/mydata = list(key=score)
    F["scores"] << mydata //add our data


I'm not sure but I assume something along those lines would be an approach. I don't know about spitting out the top 10.

Well, thanks for your effort, I'm still confused, and I don't think that worked. I'm going to try to do some more searching and see if I can figure this out.
