Let the World See the Carnage – Saving and Loading High Scores - Unity 4 Game Development - page 538

Creating the UserData and Hiscore scripts
In the first section, we will create the UserData script, which will collect the username
and score. This script will inherit from the IComparable<T> interface, which is a cus-
tom comparison method in the .NET library that a value type or class implements to create
a type-specific comparison method to order instances. This class will have the Com-
pareTo() function, which will be used to sort users by their score. Then, we will add the
UserData object in the UIHiscore script and set up the input text field for the player's
name.

Then, we will create the Hiscore script, which will be the super class of both the
LocalHiscore and ServerHiscore scripts. The Hiscore script will include the
necessary variables such as the array of the UserData , Save and Load functions, Sort
function, and so on.
