Data storage

Data is automatically saved.

Each time saving data will cover the previous saved data.

Houses and tickets data are stored at SBA/data/houses and SBA/data/tickets (without a filename extension), the colour scheme setting is stored at SBA/data/colour.txt, the language option is stored at SBA/data/language.txt if there are no such files, the program will create them if needed.

When the program is started, it will try to load data.

See documentation on how to change the colour scheme and language.

Technical details

SBA/data/houses and SBA/data/tickets are binary files, containing pickled Python objects. Those files are NOT human-readable.

HOWTO: Manually save and load data

HOWTO: Delete all data

Warning

The following instructions will reset everything of this program.

Login as an administrator, enter mode 11(CLEAR ALL DATA). It will clear ALL data: every house, every ticket. Saved data will also be deleted. Colour scheme will be reset to DARK. Language will be reset to ENGLISH. It should reset everything.

Note: As mentioned in the documentation about login, due to the fact that this is just an SBA homework, and is in Elective Part D, data are stored locally as txt files and pickled files, instead of using any kind of web-server or database.
