Used to declare/define or 'create' a permanent (global) variable.
This command can only be used in a game's startup
scene and it must come after all other initialization commands such as *title, *author and *scene_list.
*title My Little Adventure
*scene_list
startup
chapter1
*create name "Unknown"
*create gold 0
*create backpack false
We can now use the ${name}, ${gold} and ${backpack} variables!
