Hello everyone, I have been making some progress with my game. Last time it was running too slow...it's perfect now because I reduced the 9k sprites to about 100...anyway, my question is if I can have this in a file
Quote: "
DATA "BS","W","G"
"

That is what I have in just a normal file outside of the comiler. Now what I want to know is, is there a way I can open the file (lets say its "Terrain1") read the string, then have DBP act on the statement...as in making it execute a data statement from the file?

If this is possible please, can someone show me, this will make my code much shorter and much more organized. Thanks for any Attempts to help.

Tutorial 4 covers opening files and reading data here:

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=99497&b=10

However, I wouldn't have Data statements in the file. Rather than

DATA "BS","W","G"

You would have:

BS
W
G

in the file and just read them in and do what is necessary.
