No saves #5

Everything resets after a page reload

I suggest using localStorage as it is easier to integrate with small games

Later on it is possible to use IndexedDB to be able to manipulate data more efficiently (This assumes you have to handle 1-2 gigabytes of data at a time)

In actuality i was going to inplement an entirely different save system. Consider the following: yk how in older games when they gave you the express option to save they also gave you a code to go along with it? i was thinking of implementing that

This is a good way of adding a backup system, but can you imagine having to open a separate backup file each time you want to save/load? I think this is a bother

its not a file, its just a shrimple little string of text, at most 6 chars long
