Putting an object into a bundle

Grey Goo · by **Grey Goo** » Fri May 29, 2009 7:34 am

All the objects in my game are in a World object and I'm trying to set up the pause/resume part, but I can't figure out how to store the World object in a bundle. I noticed a get(String key) that will return a general Object, but I don't see any put methods for anything other than the regular data types.

Is there a way that I can put a World object into a bundle or should I do the pause/resume a different way?

Edit: Just to be clear I'm talking about automatically pausing when the program is interrupted and saving the current game then resuming it later as shown in the Snake sample code.

There are two methods the first one is the way it should be done.. but is reeeeeeally a pain in the a**
an the second method is easy to use for the developer but more work for the system.
