Hi,

 

I am creating an interactive book game in Animate HTML5.  I need to create a way to track users activity in the rendered html5 canvas in order to unlock levels as the user progresses. 

 

Is this even possible, does anyone know?

 

Thanks,

Eric

    Hi.

     

    You're gonna need an online database.

     

    I think Firebase or Supabase should be enough.

     

    But if you only need a simple way of storing user data/progress in the browser, you can also consider the localStorage object.

     

    Regards,

    @JoãoCésar17023019Thanks for the heads up I'll look into this.  I really need it for a logged in user so that things can saved.  Essentially I am trying to have "storage" where as the user progresses it saves items that will collected over time to unlock levels and other things to use for the game play, etc.

     

    Is there anything I can use as a guide for this do you know?  I am new to JS, although I have been using JQuery for years.  I don't even know where to begin apart from hiring someone.  I'm trying to get the POC done for fundraising before then though.

     

    Thanks,
