how save the current level

Question

I am making a game with 50+ levels. I can't seem to be able to save the game so that when the user later opens the game, it will be on the same level they the user left off at. I use the fallowing code to transition from level to level.

let leveltwo = levelTwo(fileNamed: "levelTwo")
leveltwo?.scaleMode = .aspectFill
self.view?.presentScene(leveltwo!, transition:SKTransition.fade(withDuration: 0.1))

I also have a "example.swift" and "example.sks" file for each level. My goal is to save the level that the user is on. Im not saving a high score, I know how to do that. But i'm not sure if its the same. Or how I can apply that it this.

Why not store an `Int` representing the current level in `UserDefaults`? That's so obvious I'm not sure what your question is actually asking. — rmaddy, Jan 20 '18 at 16:36
each level is a different file. I want to be able to load the file the user leaves off at when they exit the game — Matt Young, Jan 20 '18 at 16:40
Would be nicer to use CloudKit to save the game progress. That way users can pick up where they left off across devices. UserDefault will be a local device only solution. — picciano, Jan 20 '18 at 17:39
@MattYoung Then update your question with what you have tried and clearly explain what issues you are having. — rmaddy, Jan 20 '18 at 22:08

You may want to use UserDefaults.

So, for example, in your AppDelegate you would implement this:

func applicationDidEnterBackground(_ application: UIApplication) {
    UserDefaults.standard.set("level_file_path", forKey: "currentLevel")
}

func applicationDidBecomeActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
    let levelFilePath = UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "currentLevel")

    // load your file/level here
}
