In a [[Scratch]] [[project]], the act of '''saving data''' is to record a [[variable]], [[list]], or some other value so it can be read or used at a later time.

==How it Works==
When saving data, the variable, list, or value is converted into a code containing all of the currently saved data. This process is called encoding.

When the user would like to load the saved data, the saved code is converted back into the original values that were used to generate it. The project can then read and use these values like normal. This process is called decoding.

==Common Uses==
Common uses of data-saving systems in Scratch projects include:
* Storing player status in games
* Saving users' work in paint projects

This is not an exhaustive list; there are many more uses beyond those listed.

==Making a Save Data System==
Once the data is encoded, it is the user's responsibility to save the code for later. If the user wants to load their saved data, they must enter their code manually.

===Encoding (Saving Data)===
This is what the project will use to generate save codes.

<scratchblocks>
define save (data)
set [code v] to (join (join (code) [;]) (join (data) [;])
</scratchblocks>
Now this custom block can be called whenever saving is needed.
Here's an example of this block in action:

<scratchblocks>
when flag clicked
set [code v] to ()
when [s v] key pressed
save (level):: custom
save (coins):: custom
</scratchblocks>
In this example, pressing S will save the "level" and "coins" variables into a single code.

===Decoding (Loading Data)===
Now the data is saved, what's left is to encode it and switch it back to the original so the project can use it. This can be done by reading each value in the (saved) code (by reading until a semi-column is read, then the system switches to reading the next value). Here is how:

Once the data is saved, the project must decode it so it can be read again. This is done by reading each portion of the code (separated by semicolons) and saving them into a list. The data can then be read by the project, just as it could before it was encoded.

This can be done in two ways. This is Method 1:
<scratchblocks>
define load data (data)
set [i v] to [1] //"i" is used so the system knows which letter it's reading.
set [value v] to []//We'll add this to a list.
repeat until <(i) > (length of (data))>//Start reading.
repeat until <(letter (i) of (data)) = [;]>//Read letter by letter.
set [value v] to (join (value) (letter (i) of (data)))
change [i v] by (1)//So the system doesn't stick at one letter.
end
if <not <(value) = []>> then//Skips saving blank values, making it easier to tell which list item is which
add (value) to [Loaded Data v]//So we can actually read the loaded value.
end
change [i v] by (1)
set [value v] to []//Reset
end
</scratchblocks>

Alternatively, Method 2:
<scratchblocks>
define load data (data) with the character (character)
set [letter # v] to (1)
delete all of [decoded v]
repeat(length of (data))
if<(letter(letter #)of(data))=(character)> then
add () to [decoded v]
else
replace item (length of [decoded v]:: list) of [decoded v] with (join(item(length of [decoded v]::list) of [decoded v])(letter(letter #) of (data))
end
change [letter # v] by (1)
end
</scratchblocks>

Here's an example of Method 1 in action:

<scratchblocks>
when flag clicked
set [code v] to ()
when [l v] key pressed
ask [Save code?] and wait
load (answer) :: custom
set [level v] to (item (1) of [Loaded Data v])// order of loading
set [coins v] to (item (2) of [Loaded Data v])
</scratchblocks>
In this example, pressing the L key will load the "level" and "coins" variables from the encoded data.

===Encrypting Save Codes===

The user can easily cheat by entering the desired values into the save code (e.g. they'll write "9999; 9999;" into the save code so "level" and "coins" will be 9999 rather than getting those values in the project) also known as "hacking" the save code, encrypting it may be necessary.

{{note|This method is designed only for saving numbers, not letters or symbols.}}

<scratchblocks>
define save (data)
set [code v] to (join(join (code) [; ]) ((data) * [43653]))
when flag clicked
set [code v] to ()
when [s v] key pressed
save (level) :: custom blocks
save (coins) :: custom blocks
define load data (data)
set [i v] to [1]
set [value v] to []
repeat until <(i) > (length of (data))>
repeat until <(letter (i) of (data)) = [;]>
set [value v] to (join (value) (letter (i) of (data)))
change [i v] by (1)
end
add ((value) / (43653)) to [Loaded Data v]//So it encodes it right.
change [i v] by (1)
set [value v] to []
end
when [l v] key pressed
ask [Save code?] and wait
load (answer) :: custom blocks
set [level v] to (item (1) of [Loaded Data v])
set [coins v] to (item (2) of [Loaded Data v])
</scratchblocks>

That was an encrypted save data system which works by encoding and decoding the variables "level" and "coins".
