Step-by-Step Guide
Manual save
Press Ctrl+S (or Cmd+S on Mac) to save your project immediately. A save icon briefly appears in the toolbar.
Enable auto-save
Go to Settings > Editor and ensure Auto-Save is enabled. It saves every 30 seconds by default.
View version history
Open the History panel to see all saved versions. Each version has a timestamp and optional description.
Create a checkpoint
Before major changes, click "Save Checkpoint" in the History panel and add a description. These are never auto-deleted.
Restore a version
Click any version in the History panel to preview it. Click "Restore" to roll back to that state.
Cloud sync
All saves sync to the cloud automatically. You can open your project on any device and continue where you left off.
FluxScript Example
Here is the FluxScript (Appley Scripting) code for this tutorial:
// Save and load game state at runtime
on start {
// Load saved player data
highScore = save.get("highScore") || 0
lastLevel = save.get("lastLevel") || 1
print("Welcome back! Last level: " + lastLevel)
}
on event("levelComplete") {
// Save progress
save.set("lastLevel", currentLevel)
if score > highScore {
save.set("highScore", score)
}
save.flush() // Force immediate save
}Node Script Equivalent
Prefer visual programming? Here is the same logic as a Node Script graph:
[On Start] ──► [Save.Get: "highScore"] ──► [Default: 0]
──► [Save.Get: "lastLevel"] ──► [Default: 1]
──► [Print: "Welcome back!"]
[On Event "levelComplete"] ──► [Save.Set: "lastLevel"]
──► [Branch: score > highScore] ──► [Save.Set: "highScore"]
──► [Save.Flush]Pro Tip
