Java Game Programming - Saving and Loading [P15]

Please read description! (I don't ask often anymore - but this time...)

This is likely to be the penultimate video in this series!

Firstly, I'd like to say two things - most importantly is that the little ninja sprites you see running around are not drawn by me! They're by a friend of mine called Pedro - you can find his channel and game jolt page below. Please check him out!

Today we move the save logic out of the player class, and into a new class, creatively named "WorldSave". Most importantly however, we start to look at how to include the details relating to saving and loading which LEVEL the player is currently on too.

This is in preparation for next time, when we move the load logic out of the player class and into the WorldSave class, and are finally able to save the game anywhere in the world, exit, start a fresh playthrough and load our current progress.

So, what do you all want to do next? I know I'm not likely to be talking to hundreds of people here in this description, so if you have any suggestions let me know in the comments. You've got a pretty decent chance of seeing covered, tbh.

There are some things I absolutely want to cover though - specifically state management (properly) and factories. I might also do a more advanced lesson on use of enumerators... So often people just use them as lists and this is only a tiny fraction of what they're capable of.

I'd also like to cover things like message pipelines and input handling. Too often I see this done in such a.... sub-optimal(?) way, I'd really like to show you guys some real-world methods and techniques.

Hell... If there's enough interest, I might even put my money where my mouth is (literally...) and buy a mic, before starting my own game engine series....

Wait... Did I really just suggest that..?

Further to this, any other feedback is extremely welcome, and you have my thanks for making it this far. I'm at 80 subs now, and I'm really starting to think... One day I might even hit 100..! That'd be awesome lol :D
