Answer 1

You can solve your problem in a easier way..

Just declare a Variable for the Score like this..

local score=0

Then Increment the score variable by 1 whenever it hits the paddle. So Insert the coding in Collision Function as given below:

  local function onCollision(event)
  {
  score=score+1
  }
 ball.collision=onCollision
 ball:addEventListener("collision",ball)

Finally When you need to save your highscore (after gameover), You can use Preference instead of json which makes the larger coding.

local preference= require "preference"
local highscore=0

 preference.save{highscore=score}

If you want to display the Highscore, then use the following:

highscore_value=preference.getValue("highscore")
display.newText(highscore_value,0,0,nil,30)

This might be useful for your problem !!
