I hope this comment can get to you. I played your paper Minecraft when I had no money to buy the official Minecraft, which was from 2015(11 yo) to 2021(17 yo). It was a good portion of my childhood, which also got me interested in scratch(2017, 13yo), which later made me interested in programming languages(2018, 14 yo). Now I'm 20 yo, trying to make a game like Terraria on Unity game engine. I was stuck at world generation and and world saving, AND I RECALLED YOUR GAME. At first I thought I would have to break down your scratch game on my own. Then I saw your videos towards paper Minecraft. With this video and your Procedural World Generation video, you actually helped me a lot on my unity project. Education sessions with such advanced techniques you taught us in your videos are usually paid courses on the internet, but you just...what the heck man, you mean so much to me. You are the one who inspired me towards programming, and now you are helping me again, I don't know how to thank you.

I’m glad you’re finally making a tutorial on how to do this so it’s more accessible! I did this a while back with your encoding and decoding system from the cloud tutorials, and have the game read the numbers to give you your values back. Though I didn’t use any delimiters so it could get a bit confusing with all of the values in my game.

10:51 Fixed! we just forgot to add a "change variable (save idx) by 1" in the repeat loop. thats why it just adds only the first letter of each value in the save code also thank you so much,that helped alot! :D

If you multiply by any number when encoding and divide it by the same number when decoding, it will be much harder to decipher what values are what, alternatively you could turn letters into numbers and numbers into letters (a=1, b=2, etc. or shift every number by a value, 1=4, 2=5, etc.)

You could use a random number to multiply the values in the save by and put the random number in the save code, then when decoding use the random number, [Ideally first or last in the code] and divide by the number to make it harder.

A very tiny optimisation: The last letter in this text is always ‹|›. This marks the end of the last value. However, ‹› would also work, so you can remove ‹|›. If only there was an (all but last of [text]) block for this!

@ego-lay_atman-bay

You check if the save code is "" before saving the value, and if it's not, add "|" to it, then add the value.

Without using any tutorials I created a save code system for a clicker game I made, and I'm gonna be honest, you did it better than me/

It's not the way I create save codes, and text escaping, but it's simple and it works. The ways I do it is probably more complicated, as I loop through it using a repeat until letter > length of text.

Always here for a griffpatch video!

Happy birthday!

The saving system I've settled on and standardised across all my projects is one that uses key-value pairs instead. I don't bother with escape characters because my data realistically will always have unused characters (and unicode is an alternative too). So, my saves end up looking like... key1:value1,key2:value2,key3:value3,. For loading I dump everything into a list first. Then to get a certain value, look for the key and the value will be the item immediately after it. I use the (item # of [] in list) block to keep it simple. This system is so flexible because the order of the key-value pairs do not matter. Backwards compatability is easy.
