About the Byte Array

[dragonguy]

Do I have to save and load files that are of .bin format or can I use any format?
I'd imgine it could be able to open and save every file, I was thinking for a game I could have a .lvl format (level files) for a level editor of one of my games.

You can use any format.. it's only part of the filename. I would recommend you use Binary Array over ByteArray, as it supports other data types.

[dragonguy]

The Binary Array supports other datatypes? you mean like hexinary, octinary & decinary?

[James]

...no, like shorts, integers, floats and strings.

[dragonguy]

What are shorts and floats?

What are shorts and floats?

shorts use half the storage space than an integer would, but as a consequence can only store numbers from 0 - 65535 or -32768 - 32767
floats are basically just a decimal value like 5.2 or 7.437723
