KIniReader : #include "KIniReader.h" KIniReader is responsible for reading external ini files. INI files are text files that contain some information about the game, they must be in the following format: [SECTIONNAME] variable=value name=string INI files are plain texts files, the file extension does not matter. Be careful not to insert leading spaces at this point, V1.0 does not strip the spaces and that might result in errors.
