The score I earned on the Game page with .NET MAUI MVVM is not visible on other pages. How can I keep score data in Local device

Question

I want to display the score information I earned on the MultiplicationPage on the GameOverPage. I think I pulled the data from PlayerModal but it still doesn't show up.

GameOverPage.xaml

So you have two different instances and expect to they would have same values? — Selvin, Aug 17 '23 at 08:26

The problem in your project is the PlayerModal in the MultiplicationPageViewModel and GameOverPageViewModel are different instance . So you can declare it in the BaseViewModel, such as:

public class BaseViewModel
{
   public static PlayerModal playerModal { get; set; } = new();
}

And in the GameOverPageViewModel:

public partial class GameOverPageViewModel : BaseViewModel
    {
        public PlayerModal playerModal { get; set; } = BaseViewModel.playerModal;

And in the MultiplicationPageViewModel:

public partial class MultiplicationPageViewModel : BaseViewModel
    {
        public PlayerModal playerModal { get; set; } = BaseViewModel.playerModal;

In addition, you can also try pass the playerModal or the score to the other page when you navigate.

Thank you so much ! Now the score efficiency appears on every screen, but every time I close and open the application, the HighScore is reset. How can I save it locally? – M3rtix Aug 17 '23 at 09:32
You can use the [Secure storage](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/platform-integration/storage/secure-storage?tabs=android) to save it on the device storage. @M3rtix – Liyun Zhang - MSFT Aug 17 '23 at 09:49
Thank you, I have one more question. When playing the game again from the retry or main menu button, the counter decreases very quickly, like x2 or x4. What would be the reason? @Liyun Zhang - MSFT – M3rtix Aug 17 '23 at 09:52
I can't see the code and the effect said about `the counter decreases very quickly`. You can post a new question and show the details such as the code, the effect you want and the effect you got. @M3rtix – Liyun Zhang - MSFT Aug 17 '23 at 09:55
