Process Game.ini Data

 
Usually, you would need to set a brand new string or constant to your game's official name by hand. Then you would call it every single time your game is loaded or reloaded.
Now that's no longer necessary!
Include this scriptlet and you will only need to setup a single constant, namely INI_FILENAME and that's it!

Code:

# * Game.ini Data Extractor

module Game
  INI_FILENAME = "Game"
  DATA = {}
  def self.process_ini
    lines = File.readlines(INI_FILENAME + ".ini")
    lines.shift
    lines.size.times do
      key, value = lines.shift.split("=")
      next unless key
      DATA[key] = value.chomp || ""
    end
  end
  process_ini
end

From now on, you can directly access Game::DATA["Title"] or any other variable you may have set in your Game.ini file.
