can a processing program be loaded like a regular file?

ctrembla

Like my question says. I wanna know if I can make a program then load it to my other programs? or does it not worklike that? If not why not?

You can load a processing pde file inWord or in a text editor - it’s a text file.

It’s more difficult to let a processing sketch load another processing sketch

Please elaborate your question

ok, I wanna crate a high scoreboard that I can use a few floats, an array or 2 & a few strings. My idea was finally finish typing it out export it & then load it into my grinch space shooter game. Or would it work without needing to be exported?

Look in the reference

You can either do it with saveStrings and loadStrings OR even better with saveTable and loadTable

both ways you can edit it in a normal editor

There is a tutorial on data describing a few topics
