saving advanced game board object?

[life2searching]

is there a simple way to save the layout/contents of the grid, and load it back later on?

i need more than just the "undo" once feature, if that makes sense

i want the user to be able to resume to how they had the puzzle from five mins ago.

You could easily start a fastloop to store all the brick values and fixed values stored in AGBO into a regular array object.

AGBO is in itself just a simple 2D array that allows you to perform operations on this array.

save:
--> start loop "y" BoardHeight("AGBO") number of times

on loop "y":
--> start loop "x" BoardWidth("AGBO") number of times

on loop "x":
--> write BrickAt("ABGO", loopindex("x"), loopindex("y")) into array at loopindex("x"), loopindex("y")

You can do the same with the fixed values into another array for example.
Same technique can be used to restore the data again.

If you use a 3D array you can even save multiple states which can be restored. The z-index could be the time axis.

The first time you save the board state, you save to z-index 0, the second time z-index 2 and so on.
