Hello, Scratchers. Please help me with my project here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/548505713/
It is a project where you click the Scratch Cat, a Click-Count variable updates, and the Scratch Cat announces the click count.
I want to make a system, where, on click of the ‘Save your progress’ button, the Click-count gets saved in a save file like in this project (which is made by @Zinnea)

Also, on the click of the ‘Load your progress’ button, the Click-Count gets updated when you paste in the save file.

Thank you!

Thanks @The_Imaginarium, but I checked it before writing this forum post, and it did not help much,

Just quickly asking, will you need the ability to add more variables to the save code later on? Because if not then it's a really simple task.

Edit: also do you need encoding, because I physically cannot do that.

I dont think so; the only variable is a click-count. You can refer to this link for my project: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/548505713/.

The Load Data button does not work

I've noticed that your save code has details like username and time. Is this needed? Because it complicates everything further.

If you don't need them:
Saving:

define save (data)
add ((click count) * (51)) to [save data]
show list [save data]

Loading:

define load (data)
ask [paste save code here] and wait
set [click count] to ((answer) / (51))

Edit: Fixed some small mistakes

No, it is just to make a (kind of) save file

I'll try your code.

Thanks, @ShadowOnTheHorizon!

But, why are you using ‘51’ only? Can this number be changed to say, 35 or something?

Yep, 51 is just a random number I chose.

Thanks so much!


Will close the topic

Btw, did you know that this is my first forum post?
