Achievement Tracker

Data-driven implementation that loads advanced healing done with progression configuration from external definitions.

class AdvancedHealingDoneWithProgressionHandler {
  worldState: Map<string, any> = new Map();

  save(slot: number) {
    const data = {
      timestamp: Date.now(),
      version: "3.0.0",
      state: Object.fromEntries(this.worldState)
    };
    localStorage.setItem(`save_${slot}`, JSON.stringify(data));
  }

  load(slot: number) {
    const raw = localStorage.getItem(`save_${slot}`);
    if (!raw) return false;
    const data = JSON.parse(raw);
    if (data.version !== "3.0.0") {
      return this.migrate(data);
    }
    this.worldState = new Map(Object.entries(data.state));
    return true;
  }
}
