Love this concept! I'll see if I can look at the linker error sometime soon, this week is looking busy for me though :( |

This PR aims to implement a simple interface to store and load program state to the memory.
Why is this a good idea?
Because it provides a simple interface for developers and reduces the amount of IO-code people have to write. Writing persistent apps would only be a matter of defining the persistent data struct, inheriting from
Persistentand loading/saving the data in the constructor/desconstructor (and maybe we can automate this away, not sure though).What is already there?
In
utility/Persistent.his a new template classPersistent<T>.It holds a versioned struct of data which it can save to and load from the memory. The code is taken from the settings implementation.
For testing/reference I changed the score of the Paddle game to be persistent.
What is missing?
Currently, I have a linker error I cannot get rid of. It's probably easy for someone who knows more about C++ than me.
Therefore it's not tested either.
