Ok so as my first main project i want to create a Text Based RPG. Ive done this before but never as in detail.

The first thing im wanting to include is a log in feature so that when you reload the exe to run the game your not starting from scratch.

I Plan to have a menu which they can 'Create Account' Or 'LogIn'

How would i go about doing this.

I tryed Playing around with arrays and structures but couldnt figure it out.
Also i dont know how to save variables to an external source that can be read from after.
I know how to write to a notepad file and read from. But that is all.


How should i go about doing this.

Any pointers in what to research would be greatly apreciated.

If you know how to write to and read from files, that's enough.
I mean, what else did you plan to use for your savegames if not files?

If you want to be creative, use hashing functions and interface it with an account server of some form.
