math.randomseed(os.time()*3)
local print = require("output")
local code = require("encode")

print(os.date("%c") .. "\n------------------------------\n")
print(io.open(path .. "\\assets\\orange.png")) -- a simple check to make sure the path is correct, prints "file (0x07fef215c500)"

end
love.quit = function()
print("\n------------------------------\n\n\n")
