Game within a game, CDs?

[dragontear]

Hello, I have been working on a non-game porject I am was curious if its possible through RGSS, to open another game exe or project with in the same window? I.E. the original game does its tasks, the opens a new game.exe within the same window?

Also one last thing, Is it possible for RGSS to access a CD from the user computer or check if one is in the drive? If so can it read / open files from the disc? :huh:

Thanks for the help! :thumb:

Not the same window. A new window is the only thing I know of.

How to check drives for a certain directory. I don't know how to get a list of the logical drives a system has. Although I wouldn't be surprised if Ruby had a method for it. So here's the hack solution.

drive = 'B:/'
stop_on = 'Z:/'
dir_worked = nil
loop do
  break if drive == stop_on
  if File.exists?(drive + path) # Where path is what you want
    dir_worked = drive + path
    # Do work based on whether the dir was found.
    break
  end
  drive[0] += 1
end

Good luck with it dragontear! :thumb:
