Getting Started

This week I started to read the tutorials on how to program ChoiceScript. I wanted to get a basic understanding of the language. So far it is an easy and simple language. The most important thing for the language is indentation. If I do not indent then there will be an error. I have not progressed on the storyline yet but when I do I will be posting an update.

Road Block

Due to the Science MSA that took place this week I couldn't get much done because I was preparing for that. Last week I got some of the storyline though. I think I am going to make it a sci-fi story where a group of people who are frozen have been sent on a spaceship for 300 years and then a person who was frozen wakes up 100 years before he was supposed to and now he has to find out why. That's about it!

Choice of Games


For my project I am going to create a Choose Your Own Adventure game. To do this I will use the programming language ChoiceScript. My plan is to create a lengthy storyline that branches off into many choices. I will have to keep a notepad or something to keep track of all the different paths because it will get very confusing. I am going to have to learn the language but the website says that the language is very simple and easy to learn which is a good thing because I won’t have to spend much time learning it.
My ultimate goal is to finish the game and then send it to the Choice of Games company and then they might publish it. The greatest satisfaction will be when I play it on their website and know that I created it! Even if it does not get published I would still be really happy with the completed edition. I would brag, well, not brag, but share it on Facebook and see the feedback and update it accordingly.
 My goal for next week is to have a basic storyline so that I can start programming it. I will also read up on the ChoiceScript language to familiarize myself with it. I am really looking forward to getting started!
