How is everyone getting around not using these things? I want to have an options screen to change difficulty and game colors, which is doable in a text file but no introduction to the game just sort of feels weird. As for the end game, I would like to display some sort of score to show the user 1) they finished and 2) how well they did. Should I just refrain from having this all together, because putting this in a text file is basically the same amount of feedback as having it in the program itself.
Ideas?
