I'm wanting to start a basic RPG. I'll try and keep things simple as it's my first REAL attempt. Just wondering what the best method would be for storring all the stats? ATK, DEF, EXP, HP etc etc etc.

Array's aren't all that bad at all, they're actually really, really handy. Think of it as an excel spreadsheet.

Theres lots of them to try too. Personally my fave is the AssArray (lolol), but seriously it's the only one I could get working as I wanted. Supports strings, think it's compressed/encrypted and you can alter the storage limit on the fly.

I need to look into using that one then. I've just been using normal arrays and encrypting them with blowfish.

AssArray is awesome, for all things data storage wise.

Sorry if I'm speaking about something different.
The first time I did an RPG attempt I just used Alterable Values and renamed them to ATP etc and gave them stat values.
To level up I made three alterable values called LV, TNL and EXP. "TNL" value is based off "LV". "LV" increases once "EXP" reaches higher than "TNL".
I'll probably make a tutorial so it's easier to understand.
I try out Associative Array Object. I'm pretty good with spreadsheets.
