Saving a shape into file

ExCx

Hi, I'm working on a drawing game app and thus I need to save the shape drawn by the user (not into an image file, it will probably be needed in the future though). I mean, it should be "loadable" afterwards.

I thought of a way that I can save the x, y coordinates of the each colored pixel into a table stored in a file. But I'm not really sure if that is an effecient way to reach my goal. Any ideas on that?

Shape._new = Shape.new   function Shape.new() local shape = Shape._new() shape._lastPoint = nil shape._allPoints = {} return shape end   Shape._moveTo = Shape.moveTo   function Shape:moveTo(x,y) self:_moveTo(x, y) self._lastPoint = { x, y } self._allPoints[#self._allPoints+1] = x self._allPoints[#self._allPoints+1] = y return self end   Shape._lineTo = Shape.lineTo   function Shape:lineTo(x,y) self:_lineTo(x, y) self._lastPoint = { x, y } self._allPoints[#self._allPoints+1] = x self._allPoints[#self._allPoints+1] = y return self end   Shape._clear = Shape.clear   function Shape:clear() self:_clear() self._allPoints = {} return self end   function Shape:getPoints() return self._allPoints end

Basically it stores all the points internally and provide new method for the Shape object - getPoints to return table with all the points in shape

You can either create init.lua file and copy the code into it,
or simply use GiderosCodingEasy with some other additional features
