Ruby YAML serialization and unserialization-CodePudding

I have a problem with Object-Oriented Project Hangman - serialization part. I saved my code in serialize method, but when I try to unserialize it, I have a problem with it. I see all components of classes in the YAML file and when I try to reach them with code, I can't do it. I don't know where the problem is. Here is my serialize method and deserialize method.

 def serialize
    file = File.open('game.yml', 'w') do |f|
      YAML.dump(self, f)
    end
    file.close
    exit
  end

def deserialize
 File.open('game.yml', 'r') do |f|
      p YAML.load(f)
    end
    # p file['word']
  end

I think it's actually working fine.

YAML.load returns an different instance of Game. You can call methods on that instance, but you don't have any access to the properties.

def deserialize
 File.open('game.yml', 'r') do |f|
      loaded_game =  YAML.load(f)
      puts loaded_game.length # fails with method not found
    end
    # p file['word']
  end

add a reader to you Game class and then the above will report the value of the length in the newly load instance of Game.

attr_reader :length

I am not sure what you want to do with the loaded game, but perhaps you simply want to call guess on it?

def deserialize
 File.open('game.yml', 'r') do |f|
      loaded_game =  YAML.load(f)
      loaded_game.guess 
    end
  end
