Is it possible to have progress saving games?

Help
#1

Is it possible to make a game that if you log off your progress will still stay the same because I will be making a game that genuinely takes a long time to finish.

I’m not sure if it’s possible unless u put it on a game hosting site like newsground and itch.io

i’m not very experienced in this but javascript has something called localStorage, which can be used to save and load certain things. there may also be a way in javascript to prompt downloading and uploading a JSON file but i’m not sure how exactly it would work.

Yes you can, do what @BaronAWC said, you should never rely on a site like itch.io to save it will always be better to just code it in yourself

There is one such cursed way. Just make a link, turn the JSON into a data-url, make the link download-able and click it.

var link = document.createElement('a'); // Create Hyperlink
link.href = `data:aplication/json;base64,${btoa(project.focus.export())}`; // Create Save
link.download = prompt('Save name?', 'Save') + '.superEpikGameSaveF0rm@t'; // Make a file download name

link.click(); // Download the file
link.remove(); // Remove the link from HTML

And you can learn about FileReader and File Inputs too, sometime I’d make a lib for wick.
