  Hi I think you need to store all the variables you need to save in a table, then you can use this module to write it down as a json, and reload it later if the scene is "resuming". (this is what I do, but I'm still far away from considering myself as a "developer", maybe others have better answers )

  I am not sure if you could use dataSaver.save(scene) and then dataSaver.load(scene) from disk. You should try it on and see the results.

  noup, that won't work, Gideros class objects are not serializable, you can only serialize properties and reproduce the scene later

  Ummm, objects could be serialized but not as easily as properties.
  
  The biggest issue is that Lua works on pointers and every object created gets a new address, so if these addresses are serialized, they would not point back to the relevant objects.

  @Jacko You should store scene info into LUA table {} (ex level, score, button position) and then save that table. After that you can restore scene by reading saved table and re construct GUI and state...

  Coming soon

  Couldn't you just save it all to a .txt file and load it up next time around?
  ex. x=5 y=62 health=2 etc.
