I want to create a simple game in HTML5/JS and I don't want the user to run any webserver or to have to connect to a website. (just an HTML page)

But it looks like FileReader can only be used on files type inputs.

Is it possible to have only two files : index.html and foo.txt side by side and to read foo.txt from index.html with something like :

// No input needed, I know waht I want to read

var my_file = new File(foo.txt);

var reader = new FileReader();

alert( reader.readAstext( my_file, UTF-8 ) );

Any idea ?
