How to import choices/variables across multiple twine games?

Question

So I know this was asked a while back, but... How can I save variables and choices with Twine 2.1 and sugarcube 2? (There was an example of this in twine 1.x, however the attachment is no longer available.)

Answer 1

See if either of these helps out:

Both questions have multiple answers based on your needs and preferences.

It appears the test case you linked to is no longer available on GitHub.

Also, is there a way to do this locally on the player's machine? Neither of the prior questions have examples for doing that, as far as I can tell.

It's not but the code still works and is all there. Should be easy enough to test yourself, but I can see if I still have it to reupload if you need me to.

The local storage route should work for that. The original method I posted there won't. The postmessage API answer should also work, though I haven't personally tested it.
