Serialising Data

The page contains information about serialising data in the game.

General information

To provide properly working saving & loading values after launching & exiting the game, the game needed a separate manager for serialising & deserialising some data. It creates JSON files for saving values about the game and the players.

Serialisable data

The following list shows what data required serialisation:

• Game data (high score for displaying it in the main menu scene & stage number for setting the same value to the counter in the stage selection scene),
• Player data (the player's score for displaying it in the main menu scene).

Serialising

Serialising (saving) values occur in the following situations:

• The game is over (caused by destroyed nuke or losing all lives by all the players),
• Selecting stage to start the game session from (only the game data).

Deserialising

Deserialising (loading) values occurs only after loading the main menu scene.
