Hi,

i’ve been struggling on adding a save function in makecode arcade.

I looked at other similar project and tried what they did.

The game still isn’t exactly saving…

I would be grateful if anyone could help/

Thank you

I think this might help you [Settings extension](https://forum.makecode.com/t/settings-extension/1594) or maybe [[Extension] BetterSettings - Save booleans, images and string arrays!](https://forum.makecode.com/t/extension-bettersettings-save-booleans-images-and-string-arrays/19089) hope that this helps

I did use the save extension and better settings. To be more specific I was wondering how I can save my spot/progress each level.

you could use the scr\*tch method and use save codes

my format is a bunch of properties and settings that store progress, skins, stats, and everything. it will then put it into a code and each number means a specific property
