Re: Save game play later FORUM

Just store everything in variables. That way, saving the program is the same as saving the game.

Then the program could just grab the state from the list.

Re: Save game play later FORUM

you could have it ask "do you have a code?" and then if the code they enter is equal to a variable in the list it will go to that part. you would get the code after a level is compleated or something.

Re: Save game play later FORUM

Heres specific details! You have 210 money, lv 23, and you are 39 points for the next level. You save it in a ONE line code, and then what. It can't use the letter ( ) of ( ) thing because how would it know how long that part of the code!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't quite understand what you're trying to say... Are you asking how to interpret the code?

I'm guessing you want to figure out how things work with this.

Create a simple list; it can be whatever you want, but it will act as your save file. Put all the data you want to save into there.

When the user wants to save, make them save the list (right-click on the grey border and select "export"). When they want to load a game, allow them to import the list.

Once they get Scratch to interact with web pages, then this would be possible. Also for Score Boards and all those other things.

Example: Not sure how it works online.

forget lists: when you click save it saves the code to a variable by using the "join" operator, then says it, then next time you play, you click load, and enter the code.

But there really isn't an easy way to export variables to a text fine, is there?

*file...

You can right-click a list watcher to export the contents to a text file.

I don't believe there is such a method for variables, and as it is impossible to copy and paste the contents of a variable, I do believe that Lists are the way to go  smile
