   Hi, I have a question, in my game, i'd like to save my game status each time when a level finished. i have a dictionary, which holds all the values i need to store, and if a level has finished, i use [dictionary writeToFile atomically ] to store those values into a plist. but when i test the game, when the level finished, the program will be stuck, and the console says nothing.
   Anyone has any idea?

   Where are you writing the file to? You will have write/read access to the user's documents directory.

   NSArray *paths;
   paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
   if ([paths count] > 0) {
     // use [paths objectAtIndex:0] as the path to write
     // your dictionary/plist out to
     ...
   } else {
     //something went wrong!
   }

   If thats not it - maybe it would help to give us some code examples of what you are doing.
   Since its a dictionary - you could also save it as part of the app's preferences - read up on NSUserDefaults.

   NSUserDefaults is very simple to implement. I think somebody mentioned it was slow but I haven't noticed it much at all saving 20+ settings.

   thanks for your reply, i have solved the problem by dividing the job into two pieces. now i just save my values into my dictionary in the scheduled function, and when the program terminated i save the dictionary to the plist.

   NSUserDefaults works more or less the same.

   thank you again!

   greetings
