Behavioral Design Patterns in C++ - Hangman - VI

The lecture explains an alternative implementation of the Memento design pattern by storing mementos in a file instead of memory, using serialization and deserialization. This approach is beneficial when mementos consume significant memory. The process involves creating a new project, modifying the game state to a structure, and manually serializing and deserializing the data. The lecture concludes with a discussion on different serialization formats and the advantages of this method when handling large states.

What is the main difference in the implementation of the Memento design pattern discussed in this lecture compared to the previous example?

Why is it suggested to store mementos on disk instead of in memory?

What role does serialization and deserialization play in the context of the Memento design pattern?

What changes are made to the game state attributes to facilitate serialization?

What are the requirements for a class to be serialized according to the lecture?

How does the lecture suggest handling the space character in the input stream during deserialization?

What are the different formats mentioned for serializing the state?
