How to store data?

Hi. I need store data that will the code memory. For example: You are playing game and you need to save your position, but you can't obviously store that in code. Where should I store data?

I thought JSON can help me, but it's too hard.

A JSON file should be perfectly fine Make a class to represent your saved data Then File.ReadAllText() to read the file, JsonSerializer.Deserialize<TheClass>() to turn it into an instance of the class JsonSerializer.Serialize() and File.WriteAllText() to save the changed settings Ez

Okay, do you have some good tutorial? I just need to get number of level and then re-write to new And I can't find some good tutorial for just this

Quite literally just what I wrote could serve for a tutorial

class Settings
{
    public int Foo { get; set; }
}

var read = File.ReadAllText("settings.json");
var settings = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<Settings>(read);

settings.Foo = 69;

var write = JsonSerializer.Serialize(settings);
File.WriteAllText("settings.json", write);

class Settings
{
    public int Foo { get; set; }
}

var read = File.ReadAllText("settings.json");
var settings = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<Settings>(read);

settings.Foo = 69;

var write = JsonSerializer.Serialize(settings);
File.WriteAllText("settings.json", write);

Yeah, JSON is the easiest way to go. But if you have a lot of data and need to be compact and performant, then you can try using some binary serializer
