Can Corona do this?

Hi If you guys could help me out with this? Is it possible to save a table with one or many objects x, y coordinates and rotation. Also would it be possible to take a screen shot of the current level to show in a list view so the user can select a level to load. Like in elderScrolls, with the date and time of the save. I read a little about saving and Tables something about using Json. Im just wondering if this possible before I dive in to saving tables. also if anyone had any working sample code that they could post it would be greatly appreciated.

There are a few methods for saving data within Corona.

My preferred method is usually SQLite: http://developer.anscamobile.com/reference/index/sqlite3

You can also save data using text files: http://developer.anscamobile.com/content/file-io

I prefer SQLite because I work with SQL in my day job, so it’s easy for me to transfer the skills to Corona. [import]uid: 26769 topic_id: 13168 reply_id: 48300[/import]

Thanks, I will have to do some reading on some sqlite. How about taking a screenshot of the current screen and saving it to file? Is that possible?

Check out display.save() [import]uid: 6787 topic_id: 13168 reply_id: 48495[/import]

Sweet thanks snarla. One of the notes say that display.save() does not work correctly with most android devices is this still an issue or has it been fixed.
