Globals 2.0 stores and group variables. You can also load and save data (variables) from/to JSON files.

I have auto saving in my game but at the moment it currently works like this:

-first layout loads game and sets a load variable.

-it loads the game where it saved at the end of a level and with load variable on it takes you to the main menu.

-main menu takes the load variable off.

The problem I have is I can get some weird errors when doing this aswell as random sounds playing in the main menu screen.

Is there a way to not save game state but to just save global variables as they are and then load the global variables on start up?

The only way is to use web storage to save variables's values. When you reload the game, load web storage values and put them in the global variables, then set the game based on your global variables.

Awesome I replaced my shoddy save code with webstorage with global variables and my project works a lot better.

Thanks for the reply.
