I know you can read text files, but I dont think you can read code from it, but I might be wrong. What I do know is that you can load values with for example arrays (saving). Dont know if thats what you need or want. Goodluck with your game/program.

If its a matter of neatening up the code you can create multiple source files and then use the Project Manager to include them with the Dark Basic Project.

Now that I think of it, if you did want to use text files instead, you might be able to put the code in a text file, save it as name.dba and then include that in your code. You could even have the user input the code in a dbp program and then save that code to a source file. Woah! I just got an idea......

Do a search for Magic World. It uses a text file with all the objects, positions, ettributes etc. There is also an include file of 50 or so lines that reads the text file and builds the world.
