How do I preset data to a file?

I have a pattern that is made up of objects.

The game will have different preset patterns and the player will be able to change between pattern1, pattern2, etc.. with a push of a button.

Each object in the pattern has an X and Y value.

Each pattern will have between 9-27 objects stored in it.

So far I only have 1 pattern planned. I will be adding patterns as the game is more developed.

I don't think I can preset data into an array.

Should I store all the patterns in one file or would it be better if every pattern had it's own file to save memory usage?

I know vaguely of JSON and AJAX.

I just need to be pointed in a direction.

How am I able to preset the patterns?

Should I just create a Function for each pattern?

It seems like it may be similar. It isn't read unless called upon.

It would seemingly only increase the amount of events per tick a small bit and the download size.

I didn't understand what you actually mean with the pattern, but maybe you can just make a pattern editor which saves your pattern in the array.

Then you can export the array as a JSON string and put that in a project file. You can load the project file later with the AJAX Plugin.

I hope I could help!

I meant I have a pattern of organized objects and each objects has two values to store.

There will be more than one pattern...

Pattern 1

x1,y1

x2,y2

x3,y3

x4,y4

x5,y5

Pattern 2

x1,y1

x2,y2

x3,y3

x4,y4

x5,y5

Each x and y would have it's own value.

Thanks I will look into that.

How do I export array to Json?

It seems like I can open a Json file using a browser, but I'm not sure how to export an Array.

Do I need another software?
