How to save wick game

[Dol_Boonsomchin]

I'm making a long game how do I make the player automatically save their progress?

Window.localStorage - Web APIs | MDN

After creating a new localStorage() as the first thing on the website shows you, look for setItem() and getItem() below.

Could you explain more properly to me? Like show me a video or something?

Hi @Dol_Boonsomchin, sorry for the late reply but I may be able to help.

Saving progress in code is done through saving variables and setting them to a text value. In order to accomplish this, you’ll need to use the window’s local storage.

The link Baron shared in that reply should be helpful when it comes to explaining how this works, and if you need an example (wick file), then I would recommend using this :)

Save data help

localStorage it’s to store the user’s data on his side and won’t be removed once the tab/browser is closed. localStorage.setItem("name", var) is to set or add an item/data to that local storage. localStorage.getItem("name") is for getting the local storage item/data localStorage.removeItem("name") is to remove an item/data in that local storage localStorage.clear() is for removing all the local storage item/data from this link

Example

<a class="attachment" href="/uploads/s…

I used @Revon’s example myself to learn how this worked, so I hope it helps you out as well!

If you want simple code to look at, then here are two lines to focus on:

Create/ Set the Saved Variable

window.localStorage.setItem("variable", "VALUE")

Using/ Referencing the Saved Variable

window.localStorage.getItem("variable name")
