I'm trying to do something a bit strange with Game Maker, and I'm not sure if it will work.
Basically, I want to be able to make an INI file, host it somewhere, and have the game read from the online version. Then I could update the file, and the values shown in the game would change to reflect it.
I feel like this would also be useful for detecting game updates, and displaying the version number by reading from the file.
Is this possible? If so, how?
I would imagine I'd have to host the file and access it somehow, but I have no idea on how to go about doing that. Any help is greatly appreciated.
