Hey, I've been trying for a while, but how do I add another .agc file to organise my code better? When I try to add one, it either isn't connected to my project or doesn't run together.

Hi MB,

you use
#include "my_external_file.agc"

Typically you place these "includes" at the top of your file so they are all in one place.

cheers

#include will append the file to the end of your source, #insert will insert it exactly where your #insert command is within your source.

The way I organize my source files..
1) I use #include for my functions.agc file, this places all my functions at the end of my code in main.agc where they belong.
2) I use #insert for the rest of my name.agc files, regardless of what they are for.
3) I stick all my #include/insert commands at the top of my source file, before any other command, this allows me to use unique app and screen/resolution data load / apply functions.

Properly organized code makes for a happy programmer.

So if I have a function in one file and call it in the other, It would work fine? When do I use #include and when do I use #insert? And one more thing. How do I add a file to my current project? Thanks guys for your help!

Open File. Then when it appears in the project window, right-click and add to current project.

If you would write the code at the end of the existing code (e.g a function) then #include it and it will be appended to the end.
If you want it right where you declare it (e.g a list of constants at the top of your program), then #insert it.

I've never used #insert, so I guess it's all programmers choice.
