Read/Write Data

Post by Randy »

It's a general question. I've looked around but haven't found anything beyond logging.

Is it possible through Javascript in Oolite to read and/or write data during game play? By this I mean that while flying through space if a button were pushed a snapshot of text and maybe a picture could be written to the disk and later retrieved during game play? I've never found anything like this in the wiki or the forum.

I don't know what I'd do with the knowledge but general programming usually has this ability.

Thanks,

Randy

"*" i.e. SHIFT+8 takes a screenshot and saves it in your saved game dir - but I don't think its possible to recover this in-game.
