Plan

Options

1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUi9aijvpgs
2. using ISaveable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIsoAuOOG7Q
3. PlayerPrefs
4. a static class to hold data only https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/110958/what-is-the-proper-way-to-handle-data-between-scenes

Flow

1. Bridge initialize based off of persistent data to GO
   a. GO_name = vuplex url
   b. icon = favicon in persistentData folder

2. User window hover over bridge

3. Grab data from window and add to persistent data
   a. instantiate GO with name & favicon download -https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=dev.to&sz=128

b. do Save()

5. Reinitialise bridge# Implementation
   a. do Load()

I think ISaveable is the easiest solution (& most flexible solution) from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIsoAuOOG7Q , but to not do in ContextMenu

1. SaveableEntities = App GOs
2. Saveable components = url, favicon locations
3. Playerhealth = BridgeApp = on App GOs

• Downloading images - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSoFIqxJSCc
• assigining image & correct url name to GO (do with no apps for now)
• correctly reading to and from persitentData
• • either need to go abstraction above and save how many apps existed and then generate them with their respective images and names OR
• • • use the unity asset
• saving the number of apps / different applications
• creating a save.txt template to start with
