Have your game generate a password to import multiple game-info into one game

[Sinnie]

I’ve played around with this topic a little bit and have built two working demos for saving and sharing data.

Not sure if you’ll find them useful for your endeavour but linking them so you can peruse the code if you’re interested.

The first generates a string to pass between games. This was for a multiplayer game but can easily be used to port information between different games. As noted in the thread, converting the information to number codes (as you have done) will make the code simpler.

The second has a working example of saving and loading data.

Would there be interest in multiplayer CS games?

For a while I have been thinking about and playing with ideas that involve storing and extracting the current game state. I used this to build a save game module and have ideas about using it to collect metrics on player choices for use in testing. I have had an idea of how to use this to create multiplayer CS games. Essentially they would follow the same model as old play by email games in which you exchange save game files. Using modern instant messaging platforms it should be possible to exc…

Save system - Demo and discussion inside

This is following from the thread on creating stories vs games in CS (thread) and a lot of comments about the need for a save system to make more ‘game-like’ CS games viable. I have lapsed into a state of insanity and spent my evening coding a demo for a save system. This is something I already had in mind for my own games and I figured I may as well procrastinate from writing actual prose to build and share this instead. What does the save system do? Autosaves the game. In the demo it does …
