Support for saving/loading #44

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

I would like to request the possibility of saving the world state (including 
physics) to a file, and reading it from a file.

I think this is a very important feature, unavoidable in any real game.

I can't see a way of implementing this without making a lot of assumptions 
about the client developers' use cases, and/or forcing them to code a certain 
way. Every type of game would need a different type of data saved, and that 
would introduce a whole new class of bugs per type. 

Individual devs can of course use C++ serialization to save and restore their 
crucial objects, and have done so at jams in the past. 

I'm happy to reconsider this if a more specific request can be made.
