I just want to be able to load/save some hi score values across all available Monkey-supported platforms. Right now I'm working with HTML5. The problem is, when I leave my browser and come back to the game, I can no longer retrieve prior scores with LoadState/SaveState. However, I know this (saving values) is possible because other applications do it (Angry Birds in Google Chrome saves tons of level data). They must be using cookies or...?

So how do I do this with Monkey?

Thank you!

Are you sure? Because I am using LoadState/SaveState on Flash and HTML5. I can finish a level using Chrome and Play the next level using Firefox without having any problems. Try another target, if it happens again then it's something with your code

How/where are you saving state that Chrome and Firefox would be synchronized?!

I'll review my code again tonight.

I'd be very surprised to hear if browsers can actually share offline data. I believe Monkey uses something called Local Storage for HTML5 targets (and probably Flash too?)
