Class SaveManager

Namespace
Core.SaveLoad
Assembly
Core.dll

ENGINE LAYER - Orchestrates save/load operations across all systems

Responsibilities:

  • Coordinate OnSave/OnLoad calls to all systems (via SystemRegistry)
  • Serialize/deserialize SaveGameData to disk (binary format)
  • Manage save file paths and naming
  • Atomic writes (temp file → rename to prevent corruption)
  • Version compatibility checks

Architecture:

  • Pure orchestrator, doesn't own game state
  • Systems serialize their own data via OnSave/OnLoad
  • Dependency order handled by SystemRegistry
  • GAME layer hooks OnPostLoadFinalize for game-specific finalization

Usage: saveManager.SaveGame("my_save"); saveManager.LoadGame("my_save"); saveManager.QuickSave();
