save point?

[andrew4862]

Just started making a small game in visual basic 2005 could anyone tell me a simple way of creating a save point so the user can go back to were they left off? At the moment no database files are used it is just played using variables,label s and buttons.

Cheers

hard to say best way to do it.. With that little info i would say. Save all values in a textfile with a char to seperate them. example


Game1.sav

5#123#Hunter#5. 44434#2#3#1#1




Then just read and fill the varibles.

to prevent cheating you can crypt the file while writing. Then de-crypt it on loading
