Need help making Swift Cookie Clicker Game Automatically Save

Question

I am a 9th grader just learning programming. After I got the basics, I figured I'd make a cookie clicker game in swift. I accomplished that and am still working on it to refine it and make it more playable, but I cannot get it to automatically save. I have tried some other lines pasted in and modified but I am doing something wrong. I want it to save the variable click and mult automatically when updated. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Answer 1

I think this would work

Option 1: Add the first code snippet to the end of your code

func updateUI(){
clickOutput.text = "\(click)"
        }
        
        
        

then at your

@IBAction func clickMeButton(_ sender: Any) {
        click = click + (1 * mult)
        clickOutput.text = "\(click)"
        
       }

change it to this

@IBAction func clickMeButton(_ sender: Any) {
            click = click + (1 * mult)
            clickOutput.text = "\(click)"
            updateUI()
       }

Option 2: Another idea is making updateUI() do the counting too, and also, you should use an operator, += , to add to the number if you want to

func updateUI() { 
  click += 1
  clickOutput.text = "\(click)"
}

Next step is the same as step 3 in Option 1
