| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| string | The string to decode. |
Returns: String
This function will convert a string encoded previously using
base64 format, into standard text. Base64 is a commonly used
encoding scheme that is often used for any media that needs to be
stored or transferred over the internet as text, and renders the
output unreadable to the human eye.
var str, file;
str = base64_encode(game_data);
file = file_text_open_read("save.txt");
str = file_text_read_string(file); level_data =
base64_decode(str);
file_text_close(file);
The above code will open a text file and read a string from it into the local variable "str". This string is then decoded and the result stored in the instance variable "level_data".
