You have no idea how I've been looking for a person like you, you're like Moses, guiding us through the desert called "I'm clueless about coding and I want to die". On a more serious note, I always wanted to use Sugarcube because for some reason I liked it more than other formats and whatnot. And I started using Harlowe because someone told me it was more beginner friendly and it is but it still needs coding and I haven't found a simplified guide like yours about it. And I can do a lot of stuff in Harlowe, like make my words move, shine, give them colors, put them backwards and even make them blurry. My question is, can I do these stuffs with Sugarcube aswell or not? If yes, how?
You dear one are a savior and I would be sure to give my thanks to you once I publish my book/game and become famous (pfft, what a smug little shit innit?)
If you're looking to start out with SugarCube, you might find this guide useful. All that is done in Harlowe can also be done in SugarCube, though the code will be different You might not have special macro for certain effect, instead use CSS or JavaScript to achieve it. The examples you listed would be CSS related (I explain the bases of it in the guide linked above). Good luck!
You only need to import the html file in Twine for it to work (after changing the IFID). Then it's just a matter of adding more passages or editing the current ones. You can also change how the template looks in the Stylesheet. There should be comments on every relevant passages as well.
Sugarcube is a nice tool, and does stuff like save management easier than Harlowe, but it requires more know-how to use its more advanced functionalities.
And Twine's UI having no syntaxic hightlights for Sugarcube makes coding cumbersome.
So thank you for taking the time to help beginners get the hang of both Sugarcube and Twee. :-)

God? Is that thou? Lol
Thank you so muchπππ
anybody trying to teach an absolute idiot how to use this???
Hhhmmm, I'm sorry?

Okay!
How do I do any of that?
To change the IFID can be found on this page (which I linked my previous comment).
To import a project on Twine is explained here.
And the rest comes with opening the different passages when the project is open on Twine.

HI there,
More than happy to help!
Thank you for for taking the time comment!
If you have any SugarCube or Twee-related questions/issues, you can always send me a messagessend me a messages as well!
In the tables css, I think there was a typo that puts a green variable when it should be orange.
.or .passage table, .or .passage th, .or .passage td { border: 1px solid var(--gn-body); }AH YES! Sorry about that. You can change it as --or-body instead :)
But I'll edit the template!
EDIT: Fixed templates uploaded
Can confirm: 101% good and legit π
HIGH PRAISE!
(thanks <3)
