`Reading text from a file

`It's important to set the directories up correctly, so you're reading the

`right file.

set dir "INSERT FILEPATH HERE C:\...\MyGame"

open to read 1,"INSERT TEXT FILE TO LOAD"

read string 1,text$ `Name the variable you'll hold for the string you're loading.

do `Initialize our loop

print text$ `Print the variable from the first string

if escapekey()=1

close file 1 `Closes the file

end `Ends the program

endif

loop `Loop our program

`You now know how to read strings from a file. This can be useful, when

`you want users to be able to tweak settings for your game. A combination

`of 'if statements' can give the users full flexibility over a game.

`Hope this helped
