GGData or Json -- what's better or easier

helloworld2013d · July 8, 2014, 7:34pm

Hi everyone…

I have read many post for saving data, highs core, sounds…

Now it’s the time to really learn this, and understand it.

I have the code Rob post here…

https://github.com/robmiracle/Simple-Table-Load-Save-Functions-for-Corona-SDK

the loadsave.lua file – with the local M = { } and – local json = require(“json”)

if you need the complete code I will put it here also…

So I have that file in my folder.

in my main.lua file I have this

local loadsave = require("loadsave") local t = {} t.number = 10 t.string = "Hello World" t.bool = true t.table = { someOtherString = "this is a test", someOtherNumber = 5} loadsave.saveTable(t, "myTable.json", system.DocumentsDirectory) newTable = loadsave.loadTable("myTable.json", system.DocumentsDirectory) loadsave.printTable(newTable)

before going to my main — storyboard.gotoScene( “home” )

Now in my – settings.lua (another file) I only have this in the createScene

function scene:createScene( event ) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; local group = self.view &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; txtSoundOn = display.newText( "Sound On", 0, 0, native.systemFont, 18 ) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; group:insert(txtSoundOn) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; txtSoundOn.x = display.contentCenterX &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; txtSoundOn.y = display.contentCenterY - 50 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; txtSoundOn:setFillColor(1, 1, 1, 1) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; local function txtSoundOnListener () &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; print("this turns music On") &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; redBox.x = display.contentCenterX + 100 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; redBox.y = display.contentCenterY - 50 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; end &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; txtSoundOn:addEventListener("tap", txtSoundOnListener) &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; txtSoundOff = display.newText( "Sound Off", 0, 0, native.systemFont, 18 ) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; group:insert(txtSoundOff) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; txtSoundOff.x = display.contentCenterX &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; txtSoundOff.y = display.contentCenterY + 50 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; txtSoundOff:setFillColor(1, 1, 1, 1) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; local function txtSoundOffListener () &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; print("this turns music Off") &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; redBox.x = display.contentCenterX + 100 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; redBox.y = display.contentCenterY + 50 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; end &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; txtSoundOff:addEventListener("tap", txtSoundOffListener) &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;redBox = display.newRect( 0, 0, 10, 10 ) &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;group:insert(redBox) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; redBox.x = display.contentCenterX + 100 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; redBox.y = display.contentCenterY - 50 &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;redBox:setFillColor( 1, 0, 0, 1 ) end

A simple text On and Off with a red box to move up or down next to the On and Off text.

How do I really make this to work?

– where Do I call – M.saveTable( )

– when the app start the music is On by default

then in the function

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; local function txtSoundOffListener () &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; print("this turns music Off") &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; redBox.x = display.contentCenterX + 100 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; redBox.y = display.contentCenterY + 50 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; end &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; txtSoundOff:addEventListener("tap", txtSoundOffListener)

what do I write?

please I really appreciate all the help to really understand this important concept

after almost 2 years of working with Corona, I think I should be ready for this step

Thanks for all your time to help me out – (and others who also will read this)

either nobody knows the answer…

or the post is too long and they don’t really read it…

or they just don’t understand the question, and I need to be more specific…

Let’s see in a few days…
