Intro to Twine
More programming! If you run into trouble, ask in our #twine Slack channel, or bounce around ideas for your story draft. Your story can be as fictional or non-fictional as you like, but it should reference our early 19th century Albany newspapers:
If you’re not sure about ideas, read the advertisements and think about what it would be like to walk through town, or make a non-fiction timeline of how events of the War of 1812 were experienced in Albany.
You can download and import the template that we made in the slides.
Requirements:
- Use at least one variable
- Use either: at least once
- Use if:/else: at least once
- Use prompt: at least once
- Your story should have multiple paths that the reader must make a choice to see. These can be as complex or as simple as you like, and you can use the template linked above.
- If you use the template, you can only keep the Morning, Afternoon, and Evening scenes, and you will have to write all new text for those scenes!
Extra credit:
- Help someone else in Slack.
- Figure out how to do something we didn’t cover in the slides (include an image, use a piece of code from the documentation, change your stylesheet, whatever)
