What happens when you save a game?
In: Technology
When you play a game there are some parts that are the same for every player at all times. For example; the image for the background or information on how much damage a particular weapon causes. Those are just the regular game files. You get them when you get the game and they don’t change.
But as you play there are things that need to be recorded that are specific to you and your current point in the play through. For example; your character’s name or your current level. When you save a game all that stuff gets written to disk somewhere.
When you start the game next time it first loads the stuff that doesn’t change. Then when you load a particular game it reads all the stuff in your save file.
