Recap: Save Slots

Part of the Game Architecture in Unity section of Coddy's Unity journey. Lesson 33 of 64.

Challenge

Medium

Fill the save slots; PathFor(i) and Show() are ready.

In SlotSave, start a farm at day = 1 and gold = 20.
In Start(), load each slot whose file exists into slots[i].
Space puts a new SlotSave() in an empty selected slot, or plays a day: day +1, gold +15. Save it, then Show().

Press Play and Space: > Slot 1: Day 1, 20 gold. Then Check.
