I tried document.markChanged(), but it didn't save anything.

You need to use var so that you can store (var.store(()) variables forever. And markChanged() is only to warn the user that he must save, it doesn't actually save anything.

I learnt it by looking at code of other programs

To be precise, Pixel Escape.

Oh, ok, I'll take a look at the code for that. Thanks!

It's actually very easy, don't forget to check #nspire-lua for additional help. I had the guys from there help me with this and I can also help you now.

l think var.monitor should also be used.

Yep, to prevent the user from hacking into the high score ^^

yep, definitely, on any non wanted var.change, you could rewrite it from a local lua copy

A little bump for this topic to add a full and detailed answer :

It's still quite easy to cheat...
You just have to
1. open the page sorter
2. cut (Ctrl+X) the Lua app
3. add a math editor
4. change your var
5. paste the Lua app

EDIT : I did not see the last part with on.save() and on.restore()... It makes my solution useless
