Introduction
Summary
Create interactive fiction using the Twine platform.
Tips for use
Below are two versions of the same activity: the original workshop for the older Twine 1.4 (desktop installation) and an updated version for Twine 2 (web based).
Additional files required, LibraryAdventure.tws for Twine 1.4 and LibraryAdventure.html for Twine2, can be downloaded from the GitHub page
Keep in mind that as with any creative tool, whether it’s text-, video-, or photo-based, not all the Twine stories on the web will be suitable for younger readers.
