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.
Inside story.ha should be the code for your story, see the documentation on coding for help with this.
Finally, inside characters.json should be a JSON formatted object containing all your characters. See the documentation on characters for help with this file.

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>
