Question by Socapex · Aug 15, 2014 at 11:57 PM · savedatadictionary

Best data Class for storing stats.

Hello everyone, this is a bit more theoretical and discussion oriented than other questions. I will still try to make it "answerable" though. I am making a game where the player and ennemies are made up of a bunch of pieces that individually have stats. I am trying to figure out the best way to access, process and store these stats. Right now I work with a dictionary, but it is tedious. I think a Stat Class will be better, but I want to make it future proof. What would you guys use? How would you create that class? And would you recommend any article/guide?

Requirements:

  • Easily access and process many datasets.

  • Fast copy.

  • Can save and load from harddrive (fast).

  • Can process the entire data set (like average with another dataset or do calculations, probably through operator overload).

  • Easily create an empty set.

I do not need sorting (no quicksort or anything like that).

Thank you for any help. I know this isn't as precise as suggested for Unity Answers, but it is extremely important to get right.

You could use the System.DataSet class. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.dataset(v=vs.110).aspx

It works like an in memory database, you can use tables, SQL queries etc. The data can be read/saved as XML. You will need to include System.Data.dll into unity, grab it from the Mono installation.
