Multiplayer minigolf stroke counter

Greetings, I am creating a little multiplayer minigolf project and I can not find a way to store strokes of each player, could you suggest any ideas?
P.S. I though about using dictionary with username as a key and list of strokes as a value is it ok?
P.P.S. I added multiplayer with PhotonEngine

 

You should consider backing up and doing some basic data structures course.

Do you just need to correlate a stroke count with a given player?

Or do you need to track and show each hole's stroke counts?

This is all just basic data design.

If you have no idea, make an

int strokes;

and be done with it and move on.

Meanwhile, go do a lot of tutorials with close attention to how scoring is tracked and works. It's an extremely straightforward and simple problem, but you won't think so until you put the effort in to understand it. See Step #2 below for how to know when you understand it.

Tutorials and example code are great, but keep this in mind to maximize your success and minimize your frustration:

How to do tutorials properly, two (2) simple steps to success:

Step 1. Follow the tutorial and do every single step of the tutorial 100% precisely the way it is shown. Even the slightest deviation (even a single character!) generally ends in disaster. That's how software engineering works. Every step must be taken, every single letter must be spelled, capitalized, punctuated and spaced (or not spaced) properly, literally NOTHING can be omitted or skipped.

Fortunately this is the easiest part to get right: Be a robot. Don't make any mistakes.
BE PERFECT IN EVERYTHING YOU DO HERE!!

If you get any errors, learn how to read the error code and fix your error. Google is your friend here. Do NOT continue until you fix your error. Your error will probably be somewhere near the parenthesis numbers (line and character position) in the file. It is almost CERTAINLY your typo causing the error, so look again and fix it.

Step 2. Go back and work through every part of the tutorial again, and this time explain it to your doggie. See how I am doing that in my avatar picture? If you have no dog, explain it to your house plant. If you are unable to explain any part of it, STOP. DO NOT PROCEED. Now go learn how that part works. Read the documentation on the functions involved. Go back to the tutorial and try to figure out WHY they did that. This is the part that takes a LOT of time when you are new. It might take days or weeks to work through a single 5-minute tutorial. Stick with it. You will learn.

Step 2 is the part everybody seems to miss. Without Step 2 you are simply a code-typing monkey and outside of the specific tutorial you did, you will be completely lost. If you want to learn, you MUST do Step 2.

Of course, all this presupposes no errors in the tutorial. For certain tutorial makers (like Unity, Brackeys, Imphenzia, Sebastian Lague) this is usually the case. For some other less-well-known content creators, this is less true. Read the comments on the video: did anyone have issues like you did? If there's an error, you will NEVER be the first guy to find it.

Beyond that, Step 3, 4, 5 and 6 become easy because you already understand!

 

Thank you for your reply, I think I haven't interpreted question correctly(since I'm not native in English), I do know how to store strokes for each player, I wanted to correlate each hole stroke with each player, so that I will be able to show leaderboard, but still thanks for the help, that was just the right thing I needed)

 

I would make an integer array for each player.

Make the array long enough for all holes (9? 18?)

Then at the end, the final score is total them all up, subtracting par.

 

Got it, thx a lot!
