gamecommands
GameCommands are constructed from subcommands separated by semicolons. Subcommands are constructed from a command name and its arguments, separated by commas. Each command takes its arguments and interprets them to set a property of the GameCommand.
Most of the things that can be done through GameCommands can be done better through other means. GameCommand is kept around for compatibility with older versions and because ScreenOptionsMaster based screens often don't have the ability to use the better ways of doing things for their choices.
Example command: "name,Example;screen,ScreenInit" This example creates a GameCommand with the name "Example" and its screen property set to "ScreenInit".
When a GameCommand is applied, its properties are used to change things about the game.
The various properties that can be set for a GameCommand are listed below, with their effects when applied.
Sets the name of the announcer. The argument must be the name of the directoory of the announcer.

The "playmode" game command controls what mode of play the game is in. This is a choice between the normal play mode and the various course or battle modes. The noral effects of the different playmodes are described in playmods.txt, though a theme can check the current playmode and do anything it pleases with that information. Acceptable args are: Regular, Nonstop, Oni, Endless, Battle, Rave
