## Using Templates
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Method 1: Copy and Customize
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Copy the template code into your `.gbdialog` folder and modify it:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```basic
|
||
|
|
' Copy start.bas and customize
|
||
|
|
SET user_name = "Guest"
|
||
|
|
TALK "Hello, " + user_name + "! Welcome to My Company."
|
||
|
|
HEAR user_input
|
||
|
|
' ... add your logic
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Method 2: Include Templates
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use the `INCLUDE` keyword to use templates as building blocks:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```basic
|
||
|
|
INCLUDE "templates/auth.bas"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
' Now use auth functions
|
||
|
|
CALL authenticate_user()
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Method 3: Use as Reference
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Study the templates to learn patterns, then write your own:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```basic
|
||
|
|
' Learned from enrollment.bas pattern
|
||
|
|
PARAM name AS string LIKE "John Doe"
|
||
|
|
DESCRIPTION "User's full name"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TALK "What's your name?"
|
||
|
|
HEAR name
|
||
|
|
' ... continue with your logic
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
