CSV Files (Comma Separated Values)

This week we looked at CSV Files (Comma Separated Values) in Unity. I didn't make any notes on this weeks videos as they were more walkthrough-based coding however I think if I ever needed to do this kind of thing myself then these videos would be incredibly helpful. I understand the need for CSV files but as I have very little knowledge of coding in general I don't think this will be the first thing I'd need to learn!

​

We were encouraged after the video to consider the data structures we need in place for our game ideas. This includes systems such as item profiles, in-game currencies, modifiers etc. As we are constructing a heavily narrative-driven game we have no need for modifiers or in-game currencies. There will be interactive narrative systems that need to be put in place and item descriptions but not along the lines of statistics (e.g. there won't be 'This performance dress has +5 showmanship but -1 movement'). I don't think there will be a need for any data-based structures but I will keep them in mind as the project progresses in case our ideas change.
