Savefile code T-Engine4 savefiles are direct serialization of in game objects
Basically the engine is told to save your Game instance and then it will recursively save all that it contains: level, map, entities, your own objects, ...
The savefile structure is a zip file that contains one file per object to be saved. Unzip one, it is quite obvious
A simple object (that does not do anything too fancy in its constructor) will save/load without anything to code, it's magic!
For more complex objects, look at the methods save() and loaded() in objects that have them
