I'm about to bring up a program with a nearby free to play world. So there are a big amount of variables and i want to save them even if i shutdown my computer and restart the game. I know it is possible to write a text and save it in an complex way. May be I'm wrong? I would like to know how to do this. I tried to figure it out by myself but i can't get it right.

What do you mean with 'when program isn't running'? Do you mean when the pause button was pressed or something else?

something else : What i mean is i playing the game. Press the save Button. ( or something this way) End up everything. And be able to start the program and click on something like "loading game" and go on where i stopped playing. EDIT: Maybe something like save and click the restart / compile Button

First you need to create the save button. If you don't know how, look at a tutorial I created: http://www.greenfoot.org/scenarios/5679 Implement the buttonPressed method like this:

public void buttonPressed(Button button)
{
      if (/* the button is the save button */) {
            saveGame(); // or something like that
            // if you just wanna stop the program
            Greenfoot.stop();
            // if you wanna close the window:
            System.exit(0);
      }
}

Yeah i got a class called "Button" with all my Buttons in it thats not the mean problem but thx for explaining it. The mean problem is to save something in any type to get the data stored. I can't do something with level, because i got this open world and your able to build something in it. Create a password which displays all locations, types and etc. from the things in the world and type it in manual is impossible. So there is the problem: How to create a save file of any kind?

I would just suggest creating a .txt file, instead of something more complex. This scenario is very helpful: http://www.greenfoot.org/scenarios/4548
