MaiTAI - Day 21

Development is slow, but here's a "screenshot" peek of what's done:

Mai-TAI v0.11a build 170508 - FOR USE WITHIN ELECTROKINESIS STUDIOS WORKERS
DO NOT DISTRIBUTE
What game should I load? (0 to exit) taaoe
DEBUG (will not appear on release versions): opened ./taaoe/int.tai
Game recognized. Loading...
DEBUG (will not appear on release versions): game name: taaoe
DEBUG (will not appear on release versions): first room to run: bedroom
DEBUG (will not appear on release versions): charater's name: Eric
DEBUG (will not appear on release versions): maximum points: 200
DEBUG (will not appear on release versions): file closed
Game loaded successfully.
Press any key...
DEBUG (will not appear on release versions): opened ./taaoe/rooms/bedroom.rm
DEBUG (will not appear on release versions): room recognized
DEBUG (will not appear on release versions): room title: Bedroom

So, basically, here's what it does: It reads a file for the game's full name, the first room's name, the character name, the game's maximum points, then moves to the room file. Sounds simple, but there's a lot of coding involved.
