The second section of this two-part episode, and we finally finish what we started last time!
Part One: • Java Game Programming - Saving and Loading...
The method shown not only works within the IDE, but will work when dealing with exported jar or executable files.
This is the fifth in a number of videos I will be presenting on the subject, with the next one... how to delete the files we've just created! It might get split into two sections again. We'll see. Might not; we've covered most of the groundwork now.
Future topics to cover include directory management, file creation / deletion, basic data encryption, Proxy and Flyweight design patterns, writeReplace() and readResolve() and dealing with multiple save files.
We will then be implementing everything into a single, stand-alone class that you will be able to drop in and use in any project.
