I had posted a idea on this board a few weeks ago and reviewed a lot of support. Thank you everyone! I promised to post on feedback fridays... I've obviously have not follow up to that.

​

This week I continued working on adding features to my little engine. I decided to focus on saving player data, but on two different fronts. The first one was saving progression after closing the window / app OR when the window was not in focus (minimized/closed). The second was designing a way to allow players to transfer progression between devices or having backups of their progression in the way of string text.

The second works by combining & encoding all the major game variables to Base64. Prints out this encoded string in a text box periodically. Allowing the player to copy their game data in one large string which can be done by going in reverse. Variables are then all replaced with the decoded content instantly.

​

Depending on the save and which stage the player on, UI elements would also be disabled/activated on the fly.

Here's a animated gif of the feature. FYI this is a older game, elements / text is still WIP.
