Introduction

Learn how Appley handles project persistence. This page provides a complete guide to saving and loading in Appley, covering everything from setup to advanced techniques.

Getting Started is a core area of Appley. Understanding saving and loading will help you build better games and use the platform more effectively. This documentation is designed for beginner level users.

Requirements

Before working with saving and loading, ensure you have the following:

An Appley account (free or paid)
A modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
Stable internet connection
Basic familiarity with game concepts

Estimated Completion Time

This guide takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. The estimated reading time is 5 minutes. Difficulty level: Beginner.

Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these steps to work with saving and loading in your Appley project:

Open Appley

Navigate to the Appley home page and log in to your account to access the saving and loading feature.

Access the feature

From the Discover page, locate the section related to saving and loading. Click to open it.

Follow the setup

Complete the setup wizard or configuration for saving and loading. Follow each prompt carefully.

Test the result

Verify that saving and loading is working correctly by testing in the preview mode.

Save your progress

Press Ctrl+S or enable auto-save to persist your changes to the cloud.

FluxScript Example

Below is an Appley Scripting (Flux Scripting) code example demonstrating saving and loading:

Saving and Loading — Appley Scripting

on start {
  player.speed = 8
  player.health = 100
  world.spawnTrees(10)
  audio.play("bgm")
}

on update(dt) {
  if input("w") player.move(forward, dt)
  if input("s") player.move(backward, dt)
  if input(" ") player.jump()
}

Node Script Example

The same logic can be implemented using Node Scripting. Here is the equivalent node graph:

Saving and Loading — Node Graph

[On Start] ──► [Set: player.speed = 8]
         ──► [Set: player.health = 100]
         ──► [Spawn Trees: 10]
         ──► [Play Audio: "bgm"]

[On Update] ──► [Input "w"] ──► [Move: forward]
            ──► [Input "s"] ──► [Move: backward]
            ──► [Input " "] ──► [Jump]

Interchangeable Systems

FluxScript and Node Scripting compile to the same runtime. You can mix both in a single project — use whichever is best for each task.
