Take a look at Robin's "ser" library which can serialize the table to a string.
Then you save that string to a file and "require" it next time you run the game.

In this case, you'd probably want to
download Ser and do something like:
Code: Select all
local serialize = require 'ser'
function love.load()
local ok, chunk = pcall(love.filesystem.load, 'highscores.lua')
if ok then
highscores = chunk()
else
highscores = {}
end
end
function love.quit()
love.filesystem.write('highscores.lua', serialize(highscores))
end
