| How long is a piece of string? Break it into components. Work out what you need to do. Study the examples related to file reading. Read up and play with strings. |

| If the game uses different scenes/maps it is easier than if the game uses one big world. Firstly define all components of each scene/map, for example : Scene/Map Components A Components B Components C Secondly, create a basic scene/map editor with basic functionalities like the possibility to create/delete/save/load/close a scene/map, and the possibility to create/select/position/rotate/scale/color/name/delete each kind of component, then you will be able to create a scene/map, add some components, save the scene/map, destroy the scene/map and its components, load the scene/map, build the scene/map with its components, and once you understand that, add more functionalities. |

| Well, if you want, download Hspun from my sig. The zip file contains the source code which does everything you've asked about. Problem might be that it's spaghetti code and not heavily documented. If you scroll down to a long yellow line that says "construction area" following that is how to save all the info and then how to load it. You'll have to scan the rest of the code to see how the data for each object is recorded as it is placed. There is two kinds of "save" One is just a long text file with all the object data and the other takes that data and writes out a runnable program. Coded this years back when first learning. It won't be fun but it does work. DOG |
