Well i am two day into designing a development outline to my first full text based rpg (I decided it would make things easier to outline what i wanted to do first ), And while listing all the items, enemies, boxes, ect...I realised what, WOW I have alot of data i am going to be constantly changing and tweaking. So i want to be able to achieve two things:
1. Creating a program ( module really ) that would read the names of variables as listed inside
text files then read the values next to them to the variables in question. So i could easily
tweak the game during design and testing.
2. Use this to save games, and therefore allow the player to save, and quit. And continue later.
The problem is...I have no idea how to achieve this,
Im not looking for code snippets, im looking for a tutorial.
Google didn't return anything useful (shocking isn't it ).
So, umm, anyone have a tutorial to address this?
Thanks all
Live long and code strong.
