Backup RAM

Creates a backup of RAM. This is different from a full copy (e.g. my_copy = RAM):

Copy		A full copy of the RAM; this will restore the full state of the RAM, deleting any inputs or debug info that may have happened since.
Backup		A backup of most RAM data, but excluding inputs and debug information; these will be preserved if the backup is restored.

Usage

ram.backup(RAM)

Arguments

RAM

RAM object.

Value

RAM, minus $ROM, $inputs, $debug, $intermediate, $backup, and $paused.
This output is stored in the main RAM's $intermediate and $backup.

Details

The game uses this to periodically back up the gamestate so that it can restore it in a rollback.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
RAM = ram.init(Snake)

#copy
RAM_copy = RAM
print(names(RAM_copy))

#backup
RAM_backup = ram.backup(RAM)
print(names(RAM_backup))
} # }
