Re: [pygame] Implementing save feature

[René Dudfield <renesd@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi,

there's a few main ways.

1. place the player at a certain 'level' and save their stats, and which level they are at.
2. save the whole world state.
3. save each timestamped event from a certain world state and playback the events.

The pickle module can make things easy.

I'm currently part of a group developing a FOSS point-and-click
adventure game using Python and Pygame. The game engine is actually a
fork of the engine used in the game Colonel Wiljafjord and the
Tarbukas Tyranny, and entry in Pyweek #3. Right now we're working on
improving the engine in whatever way we can. If you're interested, the
source is available here: http://github.com/kallepersson/subterranean/tree/master.

So now I'd like to implement a save/load feature, but I don't really
know where to start. I have no idea how game save systems are usually
constructed, so I'm kind of lost. If anyone has any ideas, links to
resources, or pointers on how to best do this, please share.

Thank you!
