Question
I built a game to play mancala, however, I want to make it so the player can choose before every move if they want to save the game to come back later as well as quit the game if they wish to. I know how to change the code to quit the game, however, I don't know who to add an I/O file in to allow them to save and quit. Please help!

Explanation / Answer
aha, i can help you out.
well it would take me sometime to understand the code and how you implemented the game. so here's a work around, may be helpful.
make a function to write to and read from file, all the variable(s) you are using during the game.
*********************************************************
write:
for read,
do something like this
although you should do it using structures, make a structure object referencing each variable in game.
then you just have to save it and read it
here's an example
saving it would be same as writing string to a file.
