open a file(.txt) for writing and store all the positions, health, weapons etc. in there. Then when you load it use open file for reading and save the whole thing to an array and get out all the things you need.

Could do something like this...


For Lots of data to save and not just a Level you'll probably want to use an array. Check out the SAVE ARRAY command. As far as people cheating you will have to figure out a way to encrypt the file or you could probably just save the file as something other than a txt file, like your own made up extension. Never tried that one so dunno if it would work.

File 1 in the READ STRING command may be in use already, if so change it to 2 or better yet close the first file.
If you wanted to change the string to a normal number after that you could do something like
