Serialize

Source: train/Serialize.luau

Weight serialization. Pure string round-trip (no filesystem in the Luau CLI), so checkpoints are portable strings — feed them to real Roblox storage LATER. Deterministic, compact, full precision (tostring(number)). snapshot(params) -> {shape, data} states (deep copy) dump(params) -> one string for the whole param list load(params, str) -> writes parsed values into params in order restore(params, snap) -> restores from snapshot parse(str) -> {shape, data} list for inspection Format per param: "shape=<d>,<d>; <n space-separated values>", joined by "\n". Parse is a single forward pass over the string (no per-value table builds).

Methods

snapshot(params: { any }) -> { any }

Snapshot current param values into an independent table of {shape, data}.

restore(params: { any }, snap: { any })

dump(params: { any }) -> string

parse(str: string) -> { any }

Parse the dump format into a {shape, data} snapshot list. Single pass.

load(params: { any }, str: string)

Write parsed values back into an EXISTING param list (in order). Counts must match or it errors.
