Save Progress

Hi everybody! So I am making a game, it has array-based level select. How do I create a save system, that saves level progress, lives and other variables automatically after completing a level? I need something like "Sonic the Hedgehog 4" or "Angry Birds" save systems.

Thanks for attention

How to make savegames

Thanks for reply, but I don't need to save EXACTLY where I left off. I just need to save which levels are open, complete or closed, and global variables. And when player starts the game, it automatically loads it, like in Angry Birds/Where's My Water and etc.

Take a look at webstorage object. You can save your variables between game restarts, and initialize your game based on those.

Thanks a LOT! It is exactly what I need! <img src="smileys/smiley20.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I am still having problems. I did the level select by using this tutorial scirra.com/tutorials/311/level-select. When I save "currentlevel" variable to WebStorage, then quit the game and load it, I get "currentlevel" opened, but all previous levels get locked again. What am I doing wrong? Please help me understand!

And when do I load all the variables? Do I have to create "loader" layout to do it?

maybe for loop, if currentlevel is a number

"unlocklevels" 0 to var currentlevel

unlock function (actions you use for unlocking)
