Avoid using pickle and unpickle for loading and saving games

Open shlomif opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Hi all!

See https://docs.python.org/3/library/pickle.html - it is insecure and makes it hard to share saved game files. We need a different format - perhaps https://metacpan.org/pod/File::Dir::Dumper::Stream::JSON::Reader or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML .

Update: seems like kpat already has an xml-based format for saved games which we can adopt instead of inventing our own new one. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interoperability .

I started preliminary work on this here - https://github.com/shlomif/PySolFC/tree/kpat-saved-games--issue93 .
