I am using the quiz plugin and would like to keep track of the highest score. I'd rather not go the route of sending the data to a site for storage, but would rather store the values locally.

(Thanks Stobe!) I'm using the quiz plugin, so in the quizEnded method I pasted this at the top: NSUserDefaults defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]; int highScore = [defaults integerForKey:@"highScore"]; did my highScore calculation in the middle then at the end of the method: [defaults setInteger:highScore forKey:@"highScore"]; Comments OK, that was too easy.
