# ║    Set Variable in the game to 0, 1 or 2                           ║
# ║    Can be more if you want                                         ║
# ║                                                                    ║
# ║    text boxes will be formated like this                           ║
# ║                                                                    ║
# ║    "I think that \lg[he, she, they] is funny"                      ║
# ║                                                                    ║
# ║     When the variable is 0 the text will show up as                ║
# ║    "I think that he is funny"                                      ║
# ║                                                                    ║
# ║     When the variable is 2 the text will show up as                ║
# ║    "I think that they is funny"                                    ║
# ║                                                                    ║
# ║      I picked lg as the code to mean life gender                   ║
# ║                                                                    ║
# ║    The text can also be longer. It is separated                    ║
# ║    by the comma. So you can write more than one word               ║
# ║    in the text box. As you saw in the example                      ║
# ║    'they is' is not really good english                            ║
# ║    So you can write longer conversations                           ║
# ║    "I think that \lg[he is,she is,they are] funny"                 ║
# ║                                                                    ║
