Persistence

All games require the saving and loading of player data. Ludiek comes with built-in support for persistence so you don’t have to worry about it. How does it work?

To answer that, we need to talk about the concept of state. We define state as anything that concerns the players progress in the game. The amount of times a player has bought an upgrade is state, while the effect it has is not, as it is derived from the upgrade content.

Plugins & Features

Each plugin and feature stores its data in a private state object.

• On save, every plugin and feature state is combined into an object and saved to local storage.
• On load, this object is retrieved and all plugin and features state are replaced

Your plugins and features are persisted by default! If you need custom functionality, you can override the save() and load() functions.

export class CurrencyPlugin extends LudiekPlugin {
  public readonly name = 'currency';

  protected _state: CurrencyPluginState = {
    balances: {}
  }
};
