What happens to saved data for different versions
← Thread:Talk:Saving/What happens to saved data for new versions/reply
I also recently saw this. I think it should definitely be versioned.
For example, right now you could release one version, which saves data, then the next version would start with data on all bots and could get a higher score.
This might also be a nasty side-channel for bots to communicate during battle, if different versions are in the rumble at the same time.
And the real problem is, if you'd ever changed the format across versions, either overwrite or save elsewhere has to happen, but the former will make it hard to retest older versions, and the latter will at some point drain all your data saving capacity, and you have to back to the former again. Both works unnaturally. And if you don't handle this cases, you'll experience some bugs not locally reproducible.
