      If I save an array in a save to file behavior, and then append something to the array and save it again, is it saving and overwriting the whole array, or is it just adding the new index to storage?
      I’m assuming it just overwrites.

        The reason I ask is, I want an array of level data to be saved as the user adds to it(a level builder).
        I’m not sure if this will be a problem if the array gets huge, since it will be saving all the time, and I don’t want performance problems.

          @iTap-Development Arrays in hyperPad can only store strings and numbers, so far as I can tell. So you could have an array with a million cells of numbers and it would save so fast you'd hardly notice it in a level editor save operation.
