I'm making an rpg and the map editor and game engine have alot of common values such as Variables and Routines.

My question is how can i make 1 file the both of them use so when i make changes in one it effects both of them. And, what sorts of stuff can i put in this file?? Only functions or can i put in GOSUB routines and what about global variables?

Any help is appretiated.

Thanks

Program Files\Dark Basic Software\Dark Basic Professional\Video

^ There are tutorials in that folder that show you how to #include and all that.
In DBPro all you have to do is click the Setting tab on the right panel. Then up top where it says Browse; just click that and select the file you want to use.
You'll now have 2 programming windows. You can toggle between them by clicking the dropdown box in the -top center- of the IDE.
I think whatever you put in either or will work as long as you included them as described.

Just keep in mind when sharing source code files that changes you make in one project will then affect the other, sometimes in ways you might not want.
Like adding a parameter in a shared function, you need to remember to change all the calls to that function in all projects that call it.

If you want to have certain variables for like spped and positions and other things..you need to use the file commands

-open to read
-open to write
-read/write string
