I have been trying to use the SAVE command to save the data whilst the program is running, i.e. SAVE "GAME" DATA
which I though would save all of the variables in the program? *Save to Virtual Cassette tape*
And then I thought "All I need to do next is " LOAD "GAME" DATA
and it would restore the entire game's data but it just crashes after it says "Bytes: GAME"
I am sure there is something else that needs doing but can't recall this (80's memory is not as good as it should :-) )
thanks in advance
I tried hard to implement it and it should work, but it's hard to support that feature in a compiled program.
The program that saves and load the data must have the same variables declared in the same order, and you cannot use SAVE DATA / LOAD DATA from within a function or sub.
Try this and if not, send me a code snippet with the SAVE / LOAD to see if I could help.
