Hey i've got a pacman type game and i'm wondering if i can store the highest scores in the phones memory... i've searched around and found the RMS functions but it seems like an awful lot of code just to store say the top 5 or 10 highest scores in the phone? Is there a simpler way of doing this or will i have to study RMS?

Thanks

okay so i've got some code and its kind of working but i'm having trouble...
I want to retrieve my enumerated scores from the database and print them to a string...
but this only seems to be setting the latest score. It does work in the output bar as println but not when i put it to string.
