Description

In order to create different settings and progress that don't depend on the logged-in user, we have to support user profiles. We have to think of information that is stored per-user (e.g. name) and extend the cvar system.

  • What do we need to store per user?
  • How are profiles switched?
  • How do we store the data? (we probably want to preserve user comments)

We could maybe use nyan for storing the configuration, as that supports overlaying of data natively,

Research direction

Start by mapping the existing cvar system and reviewing how nyan supports configuration overlays. Resolve the three open questions about per-user data, profile switching, and storage, including preservation of user comments; done means these decisions are implemented and covered by suitable tests.
