struct GameData
{
// game data in here...
};

// .. standard header files
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
// ....
GameData gamedata;
ofstream FILE_OUTPUT;

//...
FILE_OUTPUT.write( "game.dat", &gamedata, sizeof(gamedata) );
//...

if i remember correctly that is the syntax, but it might be a little different..

so just mess with that... it should work

if anyone has corrections , feel free to post them
