Saving Worlds #28

Open andrewgrider opened 6 years ago

andrewgrider commented 6 years ago

Is there any way you could save these worlds using the built-in localStorage object in javascript?

pkipjames commented 5 years ago

It may be better to use IndexedDB or WebSQL because localStorage has a 2MB limit ):

I use a type of thing I call "File-Based Programming" when I write web apps most of the time nowadays. I declare a variable without a value at the beginning of the code. It can be set to a JSON object by opening a new file, or be set to a parsed JSON string file. Save it with JSON.stringify and an "a" element with download attribute and dataURL of the JSON variable. It may be helpful here.
