Challenge Game Info File

If you want to add a description and other information to your challenge game, you can create a Challenge Game Info file. Note that this is optional. A challenge game can function without a Challenge Game Info file.

A Challenge Game Info file is a text file with .TXT file extension, which you may create using a text editor like Windows Notepad. It should be placed in the same folder as the Challenge Game file, which you can open by clicking the [Open Folder] button.

When Capitalism Lab finds a TXT file with the same file name as the Challenge Game file, the Challenge Game description and other information specified in the TXT file will be displayed on the screen.

The following screen shows a challenge game with a description and other additional info, when a challenge game info file has been added.

Challenge Game Info Format

A challenge game info file (.TXT file extension) should be in the following format:

[CHALLENGE GAME]

Title=<1 to 35 characters>
(If this is defined, it will overwrite the challenge game title entered on the New Game Settings menu.)

Description=<1 to 500 characters>

Player Skill Level=<Novice, Experienced, Advanced, or Expert>

Contest Started On =<YYYY-MM-DD> (date in this format)

Contest Deadline=<YYYY-MM-DD> (date in this format)
