Good afternoon, how can I capture the information through parameters in the url using the variable "projectVars"
If I check the game, always the variable has the value "projectVars=value"
Pass information to the game with variables in the url

I could get it working and will describe it below, although TBH I'm not sure how practically useful it is because you have to type a string into the game's project page on NewGrounds and the projectVars will always have the value of that string.
I made a test project and on NewGrounds' project page I turned on the
Use projectVars
checkbox at the bottom, and in the text box underneath it I put
holy crap this actually worked
Then for the game I wrote this as index.html and uploaded the zip
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<script>
let params = new URLSearchParams(document.location.search);
let projectVars = params.get("projectVars");
console.log("projectVars is: " + projectVars);
</script>
</body>
</html>
I previewed the game and checked Developer Tools - Console tab and it said
projectVars is: holy crap this actually worked
