100% Good Twine Sugarcube Guide

NOTE: while the Guide is in its complete form,
it will be updated when SugarCube 2 updates (or if I spot a typo/error).

The 100% Good Twine SugarCube Guide!

This SugarCube Guide was create as an alternative to the official documentation, providing a comprehensive and wide look of over the use of Twine, particularly the SugarCube format.

The Guide is compartmentalised in (currently) four categories:

• The Basics
  • or the absolute basics to start with SugarCube
  • No need for extra knowledge. Just the base needed to make something.
• The Basics+
  • adding interactivity, and creating a fully rounded IF game
  • May require a bit of CSS knowledge (formatting rules)
• Intermediate Mode
  • adding more customisation and complex code
  • Will probably require some CSS knowledge, and maybe some JavaScript
• Advanced Use
  • the most complex macros and APIs
  • Will surely require some JavaScript/jQuery knowledge

Each category explains a multitude of aspects of the format, tailored to a specific level of the user. More simpler explanations and examples are available in earlier chapters, compared to the later ones.

If something is unclear, you found a mistake, you would like more examples in the guide, or would like a feature covered, let me know!

The Guide currently covers all macros (as of SugarCube v.2.36.1*), all functions and methods, and APIs. It touches upon the use of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and jQuery, when relevant. It also discusses aspects of accessibility.
*In case of format update, this Guide will make relevant edits.

The Guides also provides a list of further resources, for the different coding languages.

The Guide is available in a downloadable form for offline view:

• HTML file that can be opened in Twine
• .tw file that can be opened in Twine
• source code, separating the chapters, .js and .css files

Roadmap (not fixes)
