How can I save stuff so when stop is pressed it is saved onto the next re-run??

I'd like to be able to save high scores, etc, for the next re-run of my project. Is this possible and how would I go about doing it??

Sorry, not a very catchy title.

That's what cloud variables are for. If you create a variable called high score say and tick the cloud variable check box then you can have in your code;

if <(score) > (high score)> then
set [high score v] to (score)
end

as high score is a cloud variable it will be saved to the scratch servers and be re-loaded next time.

For best “presentation” you should update the best score at the end of the each game.

For instance in a shooting project, you could add the aforementioned block in a forever block.

But in this case, the best score will be repeatedly updated DURING a (better) game and not at the end of each game.
