elchulo: here's some general idea since i dont have the code of the game.

1. you create a player
2. play the game
3. in between the game somewhere it asks for savegame
4. if you say yes it writes all the data that the player uses like
name,level#,htpoints,injuries etc into file
5. next time you run the file it asks for load saved player
6 if yes it reads from the file and sets the default values to those
in the file


hope this helps
