Saving Game Data

[soulfir]

Hi,

I'm currently porting a game that was developed in pygame to work on the browser with pygbag and have managed to get the game working nicely. Thanks for the work done on this amazing project!

This game, however, is used as part of a user study and I need to be able to save the in-game data collected during the playthrough. Normally I would use either the email library or the request library to send this information to be stored somewhere, but that doesn't seem to work when running the game on the browser with pygbag. I have hitherto also been unable to find a way to somehow save the data locally so that the study participants could find it and send it to me.

Is there any way of doing this that is escaping my grasp?

you could post data

pygbag/src/pygbag/support/cross/aio/fetch.py

Line 193 in 87f2dce

"""

or download to user a file created by python: shell.rx("/path/of/file")

Hi, thanks for the quick reply!

I have tried the posting method you here linked, but I can't get it to work. It works fine running python locally, but when running on the browser with pygbag it always crashes.

As for the download solution you here propose, I'm a bit at a loss as how to implement it. Where should I call shell.rx("/path/of/file")? I can't find any shell library with a rx() method.

shell is a builtin that handle commands in debug terminal, it always accessible, its code is coming from cpythonrc.py and is readable on CDN as a python file

Thank you so much for the help! I couldn't get it to work directly by calling shell.rx("/path/of/file") as nothing happened, but I did manage to do it by calling platform.window.MM.download("/path/of/file").
