Implement Data Export Functionality with JSON and Encryption

[danielfilipealmeida]

Description:

We need to create a feature that exports all the project data (rooms, objects, connections, etc.) into a JSON file, which can then be used by the game engine. The export should also include an option to encrypt the data for security purposes.

Task Breakdown:

1. Export Data to JSON:

   • Implement the logic to serialize all relevant project data (Rooms, Objects, Connections, etc.) into a structured JSON format.
   • Ensure the format is compatible with the game engine's expected input.

2. Encryption:

   • Add the option to encrypt the JSON data before saving.
   • Use a strong and widely supported encryption algorithm (e.g., AES) for securing the file.
   • Provide a method to input a password or encryption key for encrypting the file.
   • Ensure there is a way to decrypt the file as needed by the game engine.

3. Save to File:

   • Implement functionality that allows the user to save the exported JSON (with or without encryption) to a file on their device.
   • Ensure the file is saved with a proper file extension (e.g., .json or .encrypted.json for encrypted versions).

4. UI/UX Considerations:

   • Provide an intuitive UI to trigger the export process (e.g., an "Export" button in the settings or tools menu).
   • Allow users to select encryption options and input passwords when needed.
   • Display confirmation messages or error handling if the export fails.

5. Testing and Validation:

   • Verify that all data is accurately serialized and saved in the correct JSON format.
   • Test encryption and decryption functionality to ensure it works as expected.
   • Ensure compatibility between the exported data and the game engine, including handling both encrypted and non-encrypted files.

Acceptance Criteria:

• All project data can be exported to a structured JSON file.
• Users have the option to encrypt the file with a password.
• The JSON file can be saved locally and later loaded by the game engine.
• The encryption and decryption processes work correctly.
• UI provides an intuitive way to trigger exports and configure encryption.

Additional Notes: This feature will allow users to export their adventures and secure them before sharing or loading them into the game engine.

This is half done. It is already exporting in json, to a folder. An approach is to leave as is and have a separate step that bundles the information. Actually, this will happen later on when builinding an OSX application, so we will drop the encryption for now.
