Right now, the C++ text game I am working on is using a password system, but I would like for it to store save data on a text file, so you wouldn't have to write the password down.

How could I do this? Is there any tutorial on the net? I tried Googling this, but nothing came up.


Thanks in advance,
Richard.

For storing data is a database (which you probably don't need at the moment) you can use SQLite

Really? What would I need at the moment?

Sorry, I thought you just wanted to write and read from a text file. (The link has tutorials for that, 37, 38)

For storing data in a database, I highly recommend SQLite. It is small, and very easy to use and has little overhead.
