# Making a Story

## Setting up

You need these three files to make a story:

- about.json

- story.ha

- characters.json

## Filling out the files

Inside about.json should be the following content:

```
{
"title": "My Great Story",
"description": "please read!"
}
```

Change the title and description to whatever you would like.<br/>
Inside story.ha should be the code for your story, see [the documentation on coding](/docs/SYNTAX.md) for help with this.<br/>
Finally, inside characters.json should be a JSON formatted object containing all your characters.  See [the documentation on characters](/docs/CHARACTERS.md) for help with this file.<br/>

## Making a story file

A story file is just a zip file of these files, so zip up story.ha, characters.json and about.json into a zip file (make sure these are in the root of the zip file).

## Playing your story

To play your story, simply run cargo run \<your zip file\>
