Persistence

This is probably a lua/gideros noob question but is there an easy ways to save off things like settings/on close and have their values restord on launch? For example I want to save the current selected buttons so I would just save their name and state. Anyone got a code snippet?

@BlueByLiquid, most people probably do this by saving and loading a JSON file:

function MyGame:loadGameState() local file = io.open("MyGameSettings.dat", "r") if file==nil then self.gameState={score=0} else local contents = file:read("*a") io.close( file ) bhDebugf("Loaded games data %s", contents) self.gameState=Json.Decode(contents) end end   function MyGame:saveGameState() local s=Json.Encode(self.gameState) local file=io.open("MyGameSettings.dat", "w") if file==nil then bhDebugf("Error opening games data %s", "MyGameSettings.dat") return false end file:write(s) file:close() return true end   function MyGame:bumpScore(amount) self.gameState.score=self.gameState.score+amount self:saveGameState() end

I've attached a Json.lua (there are probably others) just in case you don't have one already.

I think @atilim's Setttings class does it automatically
