This is a random resource file.

When student code gets executed, you can open

it by loading "readme.txt" in code.
This will work with subdirectories as
well:
If you create a subdirectory called "images", and place picture-of-kitten.jpg
in it,
then students can load that file by loading
"images/picture-of-kitten.jpg".
This will work for arbitrarily named files, directories, and subdirectories.
