Importing user variables from your other games

[Fundardo]

A feature I’d like to see in Hopscotch is: Importing user variables data from other games that you made

I’d use it for this type of project: For example if I wanted to make a part 2 of a certain game and let the player keep their progress

Here are some examples of Hopscotch code that could be improved if we had this: idk lol

Here is an example design I’ve made:

Variable screen

Choose what project to import from

Selecting which variable to pick

What it looks like once you’ve imported it

I’ve seen something similar in another programming languages, it looks like this: I haven’t lol

Also I think you could be able to use them but not modify them

[Fundardo]

First post so that no one takes first

[Nobody]

that would be cool

maybe you could select multiple?

[waffle]

this will be def cool

@Fundardo

but not modify them

why not?

[Fundardo]

Ehh idk maybe you could I guess
Only if you’re the one who made the game tho

[FearlessPhoenix]

This is a really sic idea.

@Fundardo

Ehh idk maybe you could I guess

Well you’d only be able to import from your own projects tho (like the title says) so that shouldn’t be a problem unless it’s a copy/remix or something

@Fundardo

Only if you’re the one who made the game tho

indeed

if we could modify it (our projects), we can save the progress like what you said

This’d be epic!

This is is a sic idea! This would be amazing! We could use this for choose your own adventures with multiple parts! Or maybe we could even make a thing like @Petrichor’s “petripoints” available to use in games!

I wonder if this already works if the variables have the same UUID, since those don’t change on publish like other UUIDs. And I don’t remember seeing the app save project ID, just the variable ID.

[FRENCH_WAVE123]

Mhm, for instance

Cheat in scrabble? -100 petripoints

Win in scrabble? +100 petripoints

[Fundardo]

So wait this could be possible already with some Json modification?

[Awesome_E]

Possibly. From the way it’s saved, I think so. Unless I missed another formatting thing.

[Fundardo]

Wow that would be really cool
Lol I suddenly wish I knew how to modify JSon

[anon41172042]

Yes good idea

[FRENCH_WAVE123]

Yeah, this needs to be tested asap

[Electogenius]

That is a cool idea!

[Awesome_E]

wait nvm it does save project UUID :(

[FRENCH_WAVE123]

Aww man, that would’ve been lit
