zOMG a programming question! Also, the questions processing form doesnt work so…

So I was looking around the interwebs and trying stuff out, but I figured maybe has a better method to saving a secure game save.

I started using RC4 for the encryption, however i think that it creates a newline character (or something that game maker [yes, i know] reads as one). So I was thinking theres really only one other way to do this then.

Aside from using a checksum on the file, which I will do anyway, I think the only other way is to parse a long string and 'explode' it to get the different values and assign them to the variables.

So simply put, I would write a binary file, then when i read it, convert it into a string and parse that string using a delimiter and assign it back to the variables.

Is this a good idea or is there a better way?

EDIT: ok why is the title input max character so big when it trims the title anyway
