smh, could have used the short form ()=>{ instead of function ๐Ÿ˜ค

I've been coding long enough that I still think of that as a fairly new thing in JS.

Someone's handed me nested base-64 encoded JSON before and to this day I am moderately annoyed at them.

unity kinda does this ! there is a json file wirh a base-64 encoded string (UTF-16 encoding) and is a completely different data structure with embedded json

I just had to add URL-encoded TOML to something due to a certain Rust crate's constraints.

In German we say "doppelt hรคlt besser". Is there an English saying like that? "Twice is stronger/more stable/holds better."

Why settle on cammel case ("saveGame") or upper cammel case ("SaveGame") when you can have one of each?

This is just as easy to write, just as sloppy but hopefully way easier to read.

Game.onload = (data)=>{
let a = data;
a = JSON.decode(a)["saveGame"][0];
a = JSON.decode(a)["SaveGame"];
return a;
}
