Opening other turing files in the same window

-----------------------------------

I am trying to make a program to be a menu for a game but be seperate from the main code to make it less confusing. I know one way to do it but that opens up a whole new window. Any help welcome. Thanks

Unit and Module

-----------------------------------

You can save other turing files (normally with the extension .tu) that have these lines of code:


%file 
unit
module (module name)
export (procedure name)
*code placed here with procedures*
end (module name)


Then you can import it in your main program, with this:


import (module name) in "file.tu"
(module name).(procedure name) 
[/i]

Hopefully that helps.

I'll attach this, a program using modules and import when I was first trying it to guideline you.

Thanks, just trying to decipher the code. But I get the general idea.

Finally got it to work. I had import and export written in my program a couple of times that threw me off. Thanks a lot.
