Save all the game data to a file. When you start the program up, load all the data from the file. Easy.

It's your game. Do what you like with it.
You're writing a game, so I'm going to assume you know how to handle files. Open up your save file, and write everything you need to to it - the number of lives you have, how many points you've got, whereabouts you are, etc. If you want to have multiple saved games, you can use multiple files. |

Any type of file. I've played games that store all of the data to a simple .INI file. Of course this made cheating easy, but it worked.

kruptof, kruptof, kruptof... write in sentences, will ya? :p
His message is clear enough, I guess. Donnie, as kruptof said, don't run before you can walk. File-handling is useful in any language, and I advise learning how to work it. This looks pretty good. |
