    The *comment command is used for adding text that the game won't display, allowing the author to annotate their code and text.

Usage

This code:

*comment this message will not show up
Hello!

will be displayed this way:

Hello!


Note that a *comment must occupy its own new line. The following:

Hello! *comment this message will not show up

will defeat the purpose and be displayed as:

Hello! *comment this message will not show up


This command is useful in a variety of ways:

  • to leave yourself To Do notes,
  • to keep track of what a bit of code does,
  • to organize the long list of *create variables in startup.txt,
  • to show your code to someone else who may not understand it and may require explanation through comments.
