So you want to make a game where you can save your position, your status, and so on ?

In your place I would use commands like OPEN TO WRITE 1, "save.hgt"

It's possible, all you have to do is write all the data you need saved to a file, then read that data later.

yeah, like this.


rem save function
if savegame()=1
open to write 1,"savegame.dat"
for t=1 to 1
write string 1,object position x()
next t
for t=2 to 2
write string 1,object position y()
next t
for t=3 to 3
write string 1,object position z()
next t
for t=4 to 4
rem what ever your game stats are
next t
endif

Alienman, you dont need to have a "FOR NEXT" loop every time you write your data. You could just use one big loop, or use seperate WRITE commands.

I do it that way so you can control which line you write the data, like

for t=5 to 5
open to write 1,object position x()
next t

will write the object position on line 5 of the file. If it doesnt matter then just do one big loop, and it will write them in order. Like if it mattered which line the data was on.

That doesnt determine which line it gets written to. It its always written one line at a time. The order you write is the order you read.
