I know I can look through someone's code and try to copy it, but I'm wondering if there are any write-ups discussing different ways to dynamically and statically set configuration files?

What exactly do you mean by dynamic vs. static?

Static meaning I set 3 bools or strings for someone to edit in the config directory. Dynamic meaning based on some user input, that file (or maybe the data folder one) shows 4 or 5 options.

Could you provide an example of what you consider to be dynamic or "based on user input"?

Strictly speaking, configuration files should not be dynamic.  That is what data files are for.

That link helps with most of my questions, I'm all set for now. Sorry for butchering the terminology, thank you for the quick replies.
