Hi,
Can you provide credits for the cover art (as per the rule)?
You must credit any asset used in your entry.
Thank you.
Hi there,
If you are starting with Twine, I don't recommend using a template, but learning the basics of Twine first.
Twine is a program with multiple formats (Harlowe - default, SugarCube, and Chapbook), each having its own way of coding (formatting of the code, name of macros, symbols to use). I would recommend you check ou the Twine references to see how Twine (the program) works (create a new project, import a Twine project, selecting/changing a format, etc...).
Then, you may want to check out basics tutorials for making links between passages and tracking choices. I recommend Dan Cox's YouTube series (see listed on this page). If you are set on using SugarCube, I have a whole basics section in my guide, with code examples in action.
Twine also has a community where you can ask questions (find links to the Discord/Reddit/Forum here) and get an answer quicker.
If you are still set on using one of the templates here, the easiest method is to download the HTML version of the template, import it into Twine, make a duplicate, and start editing that duplicate!
If you still have an issue with a template, please tell me which template you are using (since each are different).
EDIT: please note that these templates are meant to be used in SugarCube in the latest version of Twine. I only have so far one Harlowe equivalent (here).
Ah dang, I forgot to re-set the temporary variable in that popup. That's my bad!
Essentially, instead of listing all options with <<option "the-option">>, I used <<optionfrom "_variable">>, but forgot to set the variable before that.
If you check the CC-Eye passage (which is almost the same passage but not in a popup), there is this line at the start:
<<set _eyecolours = ["white", "grey", "golden", "green", "blue", "maroon", "brown", "black", "red", "pink", "purple", "lime", "seafoam", "cream"]>>
(it's the line that make the cycle work!)
BTW: if you are looking for explanation on how the Cycle macro works, check out this guide!
Hi!
I'm not sure if I'll have a solution, since I currently can't see your code, see which error message you have, nor know which SugarCube version you are using (2.37 is breaking the template - been working on updating all the templates).
The issue could be one of the following:
First, you will want to check which version of SugarCube you are using:
For faster help, you might want to check either: the Twine Discord, the Twine Reddit, or the Twine section of the IntFiction Forum (you will need to share your code there too, but it's easier to it there than on itch.io).
Such very kind words, thank you!!
I'm so surprised how the names I picked share similarities with other myths and stories (I honestly just picked them from the list of names (list 2) of the sacrificial victims). So thanks for the links and the readings! I get to deep dive even further into mythology!
introducing more characters from greek mythology, as the character explores the maze, making it kind of a "Explore the Greek Mythology" kind of maze.
That would be pretty dope for sure, I just don't know if I have the chops to carry it out currently (and I don't think Adventuron could handle it, L&tM is considered a large game for that program already). But maybe one day?
