Yes, I've done it before. You can write your score or whatever you are saving to a list, then export the list as a .txt file. To export the list, you just right click it and an option appears. Then you have to program it to read the list, after you import the file back in. There's also another way with cloud data, but I don't know how to do it.

That requires the user to see inside. You can simply deliminate the list and have the user input a string.

Cloud saving is a good option. I have done it before, and it is pretty hard. I would not reconmend doing it unless you enjoy making complex data-evaluating programs (like me). Just type “cloud engine” into the scratch search bar and some pre-made engines you can use (with giving credit) will show up.

Another easy way is to tell the user to save/copy the data to a text file and paste it to a .txt file. When they enter the game once more, you can prompt them to enter it in.
