Dictionary load and save tutorials

[RobinsonX]

hyperPad has a tutorial on arrays and dictionaries:

Lemme know if you have any questions!

[MrAeon1111]

Yes, that doesn’t help at all. It’s just showing me that you can save and load yes, but practically you need to make it work.

[MrAeon1111]

What we need is concrete examples. Not of the theory.
It took me four hours today. Just to set an attribute.
Four hours….

I'll make an example project to save and load a dictionary

[MrAeon1111]

Thank you very much. Let me know when you are done because I cannot continue like this. I am spending too much time for too simple things.
Thanks

[MrAeon1111]

How long do you need to do something like that?
Are you going to do this today this week or?

Here you go: https://bit.ly/47yvIwV

A very basic load and save demo. You can modify the dictionary, save it, then load it later.

It takes a few minutes lol. If you have questions, I can explain how each thing works in detail.

[MrAeon1111]

Thanks… i’ll let you know. I need to try it out now.

[MrAeon1111]

I cannot make it work.
The system should display something after load when you use the button modify and enter a key is that right?

So I am in game, then I modify. I enter a key. I save then what? I load? But that doesn’t work.

This is extremely complex stuff for somebody with no programming background — for someone who is not an IT engineer and doesn’t have proper tutorials.
It’s not really doable… technically it is, but it took me four hours just to set a variable. There are too many possible parameters. We need clear explanations every step of the way.
The rest of the software is brilliantly done, but when it comes to programming — which is, in fact, just logic — we need to understand the logic behind the logic.
Trying to guess takes too much time for simple tasks, and for more complex ones, it’s just frustrating. A simple, clear tutorial would solve all the problems in a matter of minutes.

It took me one hour, but I debunked your stuff.
It is working now. But the tutorial you gave me doesn’t work.
Here is the corrected version

@MrAeon1111 It gets approachable with time. Doctionaries and libraries are just like, level 7 abstract thought it seems easy in concept but when you try to grab it it's slippery. Time and patience 🙌

[MrAeon1111]

Thanks, man. I really love the software.
It’s beautifully done. It’s clean. It’s clear everything is at the right place. I’m amazed.
Just the little lack of tutorial is my only concern until now.

@MrAeon1111 Word. RX does what he can but he's been a college student through it all so his time is on budget. I struggled with stored values for a long time as well. People might not always be snappy getting back (I can answer things but I'm also learning and I make mistakes) but someone will come around. I think Discord help section probably gets checked more idk for sure

I can help whenever needed. I’m a pro, I do this for fun but I’m a professional designer. Just let me know.

[MrAeon1111]

Thanks guys..

Oh oops, yeah I found out about the issue with the demo I made. One of the behaviors were using the wrong input for when deleting a key. 🙃

So in the project, when pressing save, it will save the current contents of the dictionary to file. If there is already a save, it will be overwritten.

After you quit and come back, you can press load to restore that. It will load the contents back into the dictionary and it will update the label to display the contents.
