mob
    Login()//Login
        switch(input("Welcome to (Game Name)! What would you like to do?") in list("New Game", "Load Game", "Quit")//Choose if you want to make a new game,load an old one or quit
            if("New Game")//if they choose new game
                src.name = input("What would you like your name to be?","Name input")//Ask their name
                world << "World: [src.]([key]) has logged in."//Tell the world they logged in
            if("Load Game")//if they choose load game
                var/savefile/F = new("saves/[src.key].sav")
                cansave = 1.
                Read(F)
                var/lx,ly,lz
                F["last_x"] >> lx//load last x location
                F["last_y"] >> ly//load last y location
                F["last_z"] >> lz//load last z location
                loc = locate(lx,ly,lz)
                world << "World:[src]([key]) has logged in."
                Save()
            if("Quit")//if they quit
                src.Logout()//log them out

mob
    verb/Save()
        var/savefile/F = new("saves/[src.key].sav")
        Write(F)
        F["last_x"] << x//saves x location
        F["last_y"] << y//saves y location
        F["last_z"] << z//saves z location
        src << "Your game has been saved"//tells them their game has been saved
        sleep(900)// wait a minute and a half before saving again
        Save()//save
        ..()
    Logout()
        if(cansave)//if they can save
            Save()//saves
        world << "World:[src]([key]) has logged out."//tells world they logout
        ..()
        del(src)

I dunno how well this compares to the one provided by Dalkon but it's a bit simpler and easier to follow I guess <_<"

Rule 1: Never Copy and Paste and call it your own work!
Rule 2: Learn how to code and try figuring out before asking
Rule 3: Never use snippets they will cause more errors unless you know how to fix them
Rule 4: Learn from libs don't copy and paste them!
Rule 5: Go over the DM guide until you know how to code and read the DM refrence(optional but recommended).
