I'd love to add a little feature to the start of my game by getting a short text file from my web site. I already have a marquee and I'd like to be able to make it scroll text saved on my web server.
By doing this, I'm hoping to keep players up-to-date with (latest news) and if I download text such as (build0007.txt) from my web server, I could also add "You have the latest version" or "An update is available" as I iron out bugs in the game with each build.
Does anyone know a way to retrieve text by html or ftp in order to do this?
