Challenge Game Info File

A Challenge Game Info file adds a description and other detail to your challenge game.

It is optional. A challenge game works perfectly well without one.

Creating one

It is a plain text file with a .TXT extension — Windows Notepad is enough. Put it in the same folder as the Challenge Game file, which you can open with the [Open Folder] button.

The filename is what links them. Capitalism Lab looks for a TXT file with the same name as the Challenge Game file, and shows what it contains on screen.

The file format

[CHALLENGE GAME]

Title=<1 to 35 characters>

This overrides the title you entered on the New Game Settings menu — so if the two differ, the info file wins.

Description=<1 to 500 characters>

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

Contest Started On=<YYYY-MM-DD>
Contest Deadline=<YYYY-MM-DD>
