Hi Raul, I guess that would depend on the amount of data being saved. If it is just a between level save like in Monkey Business that is easy as cake, or rather a piece of cake. Grin. For user specific save then there can be allot of stuff to save and reload such as positions of monsters, health points for everything, status of any and all objects on that level, status of doors, etc... It becomes a huge amount of stuff being written out. Monty seams simple, but I will say that game has allot of info to keep track of. Several gems, pieces of gold coins, location of all keys, status of all doors, players info, all monsters, and so on. If I were to add a save option to that game it would have to be more than testing purposes as it would be quite a bit of work just for a test.
