Allow User Input to Create Folder Name - 06/04/17 06:26
Here is my coding contribution for the day This works, but I feel like there is probably a better way to do it ...
It allows a user to use inkey to assign a name to a string (level_string), then uses that string to create folder to save game files.
When I keep compatibility on 8, it causes weird problems in my game levels. By turning it back to 10, it allows play to resume its normal behavior. However, if I don't set it to 8, it will not create a directory. As I said, it seems to work fine, but I'm just wondering if there is another, better way to approach this? I'm also worried that it might cause unforeseen issues later on, any thoughts?

str_cpy(save_dir,level_string);

galaxy_write = file_open_write(level_string);
file_str_write(galaxy_write,"SAVE TEST");
file_str_write(galaxy_write,",");
file_close(galaxy_write);
compatibility = 10;//resumes normal compatibility
