Saving progress for when you log back into the game...

Hi, I code in GDScript. For a game I'm wanting to eventually release (probably for free), I was just wondering how I would go about saving the player's progress from inside the game to some place on their device so that when they log back on it saves their progress. I'm thinking their would be some code that stored a whole bunch of key variables that they have (like level, coins, that kind of stuff) onto- say- the cloud or into a file for their computer. I'm not sure, which is why I came here! Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks :)

I'd suggest saving the data to a file either using the Godot File API or using the ConfigFile class. The File API offers more flexibility in what you can store and how it is stored, but it's not as easy to use and data order matters a lot more. The ConfigFile class offers a really nice way to store data using keys and values, similar to a dictionary, but comparatively it is limited with what it can store. As long as you are not needing to store large amounts of data or custom data structures, I'd recommend looking at using the ConfigFile, as it just makes the entire process a lot easier. :smile:
