Saving game data on Android

+1 vote

Hi guys!

I'm working on a simple android clicker game. I need to save some data each time the game is closed, such as the current number of clicks or the number of times each upgrade item has been bought. On a PC it can be done with a simple .txt file but I can't seem to find a way to make it work on Android.

How would you go around solving this ?

Thank you for your ideas

Hey. There is no difference between saving data to a PC and an android. I saved data in json. This is more correct than just in text format.

func save_game():
    print(data_dict)
    var savegame = File.new()
    savegame.open("user://savegame.save", File.WRITE)
    savegame.store_line(to_json(data_dict))
    savegame.close()
