I'm trying to write a dungeon master game and the hero would go through different rooms and fights monster and get items. I want to save the hero every time they get to a new level but I get an IOException even though I have implemented Serializable on the hero and everything the hero uses. Some help would be very appreciated. Thank you.
The panel that has the save method:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
/**
* The panel where the game happens.
*/
public class Panel extends JPanel implements Runnable, KeyListener {
private Thread t;
private Hero hero;
private File f;
...
public Panel(String n, int g) {
f = new File("save.dat");
...
}
public void save() {
try {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Saving...");
ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(f));
out.writeObject(hero);
out.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error saving file.");
}
}
