This week, I’m discussing the use of the program, Twine, to turn the Choose Your Own Adventure Rocketeer story I recently finished into a text based adventure game.   It’s basically a html based platform, so the end result is a .html file that you can play on a computer or mobile device.  You can even do things like add music, pictures, text entry blocks, and use variables, all of which I did to make it a bit more game-like.  Here’s the skeleton of what it looks like:

Thanks for listening!
