Prolog - reload source files

I just finished creating a game in Prolog using Sicstus.

During the game I use assert's and retract's to update the values of some variables I use.

When the game finishes, if I don't reconsult the source files, and re-run the game, those variables have the same content of the past game, which makes sense.

So what I am asking is if exists some sort of built-in predicate that I can call at the end of the game so it reconsults the source files, establishing the original data of the game. (I know it is a lazy way to do it.)

Perhaps you can remove the default facts from the file and write an initializer predicate that asserts them instead. Then you could retract all of them on a restart and rerun your initializer to set the defaults

This was the answer. Thank you Lurker.
