I will add another comment.
Keeping track of Angry Birds scores, characters and coins, is a really good way to learn Excel or other spreadsheet applications. I actually make a living in Real Life with Excel, so I am a über-expert at Excel.
If you want to learn Excel, I suggest you start with Angry Birds. It’s a fun way to learn. Anyone can start. I know elementary school, middle school, high school and college students learning and working with Excel.
I have tabs set for each of the games (AB, Seasons, Rio, etc). Within each sheet, I have tables for each episode within the game, including the levels, my score, the minimum three-star score and the percentage of the three-star score I achieved. I use the SUM function to keep track of the totals, then compare to the total in the game to check my data entry.
With ABSW, I have columns to track the number of coins in the level and the number still need to clear. I have also kept a running list of the carbonite melt characters and use a COUNTIF function to return the number of times a character has appeared in the melt. Jedi Luke holds the record with 8 melts, since 4/20/2014 when I first started keeping track.
I am playing the game on my PC as well as my iPhone, so I have columns for both scores and conditional formatting to indicate which one got the higher score. I located all the .lua (etc) files in the PC and have written a Visual Basic script to automatically copy all those files to a Dropbox folder for backup. I back up the iPhone to the computer through iTunes, as usual.
I urge anyone who is thinking of learning Excel to start here with something you find fun. Next step would be to put your personal bank account in Excel and track your spending. Excel is really versatile and can be used for many applications. As I mentioned above, I make a living with it. I am a database administrator and Excel is the front end for our giant multi-dimensional database tracking (literally) hundreds of millions of dollars.
