The info section stores information and settings relevant to your project. Currently, there are only two settings here, the program name and the program creator code.

Program Name
The program name fairly obviously the name of your project. It can be anything you want and does not have to be equal to the name of the file.

The program name is used when building your project.

Creator Code
The creator code is a unique four letter string that differentiates your project from all other TNT Basic projects. It is generally an abbreviation of the program name.

The creator code need only be set if you are using advanced features of TNT Basic such as networking or configurable input. It is then used to label network packets and store user's input settings respectively. The creator code must be set in order to build your project into a stand along execuable.

You do not need to set the creator code if you are not using configurable input, networking or building a stand alone version of your project; although it does no harm to set it.
