@Davidobot Yeah, that is a cool train simulator!! @substitute541 There is the complicated part about making a .love file for distribution. The code already reads tanks from the .love file and the AppData folder. In addition to distributing the .love file we need to distribute a Tank template (actual...

Not sure about the standard practices of this forum (of course I have read the rules) or the etiquette, so I hope to n...
