Scratch

Hi Cholo,

I think I might finally understand what you're trying to do. Here's an example of a sprite that can save and load it's position, direction, size, and costume. This should be enough to get your game engine working, though you might have to add some variables to keep track of whether the sprite has a sword or how much money the sprite has. This will be a very ambitious project to undertake. Best of luck.

Save/Load engine:

What you could do is have your own compiler.
So what you do you store all the varibles and data in a single variable separated by a '/'

join | 'Complied' | + | join | '/'| + |'other variable'| |

You repeat that code as many times as needed.

At the end put:
join | 'Compiled' | + '/'

Then you make a script like

set i to 0
set n to 0
delete all of save list
repeat |length of 'Compiled' + 1 | {{

change i by 1
if | not | letter i of 'Compiled' = '/' ||
{

set variable n to |join n and |letter i of 'Compiled'||

}

if | letter i of 'Compiled' = '/' |
add 'n' to save list
set n to '(nothing)'


}}



This would change a save data into a list.



save list = list
i  = variable
n  = variable
compile = variable

Don't know if this helps, but this is one I use for a high score table that saves...

when I recieve [game-over v]
if <(score) > (high-score)>
set [high-score] to (score)
end

There is two variables I made to use this, score and high score.

don't forget to close the scratchblocks

I dont think that worked... It was supposed to show the script...

I can help you make that save option (if that's what you mean).
-First you will make a variable labled "save" or "load" or something.
-Next you will apply this for all scripts that say - when green flag clicked - and put "only if variable does not equal 1" ( Hint - only do this for scripts that do not interrupt the logo or beginning.)
-Then in one of the sprites put - when green flag clicked - set "save" to 1. That way the first time they play it, it starts from the beginning and after the second time they will pick up where they left off.
-Finally put a new game sprite and use a script saying that every time it is clicked set "save" to 0.

-You're Welcome
