A Saving Lib? [SOLVED]

[Davidobot]

Does know of a library which will allow me to save different variables and then load them up in the next game session. Eg: Save the level number, close the game, reopen, and you are still on the same level.

What's wrong with love.filesystem?
Using something like TSerial, it's as simple as :

Code: Select all

local savedata = {...}
love.filesystem.write('save.sav', TSerial:pack(savedata))
local loaddata = TSerial:unpack(love.filesystem.read('save.sav'))

Can you give me an example of a .love that uses this?

Yes that is perfect for one variable, what about a whole bunch of them?

You put all the variables into one single table, and save that.

I tried, but it gave me an error.

Using json with loves filesystem does the trick for me.

You can serialize your gamestate as is with DataDump, then save to a file.
