### Introducing Twine

Twinery.org

This is a hypertext I collaboratively created with IUP students several years ago. Here is a Twine that's not literary, more of a tutorial with a slight game element to it. If you master Twine basics and want to challenge yourself, here is a simplistic game demo using variables. Here are some Twines created by public school students two years ago.

### Adam Hammond

Hammond's Total Beginners Guide to Twine

Author of Literature in the Digital Age, Hammond teachers undergraduates Twine and has created very good video tutorials.

#### Other Resources

Twine Wiki

#### Twine Tips

1. Most HTML and CSS will also work in Twine. So anything you learned for your website (like how to customize a font) can be transferred to your Twine work.

2. Give your Twine a unique name. (Don't just call it story; this will be confusing when you go to upload).

3. Be aware of which story format you are using AND that you are using version 2.1
