One Simple question I think. Is it possible to connect programs I make to a main program? Say like attach a menu I made to the game?

I think so using the execute file command. But wouldnt it be easier to just use subroutine? Or even just put the menu at the top of the program? If it's just for the principal though then just use execute file

Yep, it just depends on how you want to do it. For example lets say you've made a program that gets the user's connection info so they can connect to a live game. Once you've obtained all the information, you could then write it to a temporary file, use the EXECUTE FILE command to run your game, and in your game's main program read the file previously created. After reading it youd probably want to delete it as well.

There are ways to send programs data when you execute them, but thats getting a bit more complicated.
