Well you technically don’t need to mess with the nav=nav thingy 😛 with the latest version.

The only thing your going to be playing around with is the:  
startup.txt  
and  
choicescript\_stats.txt

😃

Start by making sure you have the latest version: [http://github.com/dfabulich/choicescript/zipball/master](http://github.com/dfabulich/choicescript/zipball/master)

Within that folder, go to “startup.txt” in dfabulich-choicescript-1325fa9/web/mygame/scenes/

That file starts with

```
*title My First ChoiceScript Game
*scene_list
  startup
  animal
  variables
  gosub
  ending
  death

*create leadership 50
*create strength 50

```

Change the title to the title of your game. Change the scenes in the scene list to the ones you want in your game; maybe to begin with, have everything in startup.txt. Change the variables (currently, just “leadership” and “strength”) to whatever you want your variables to be, and create as many new ones as you need… and then start writing.

Yes you can lol.

First go the cog official web and use a Downloader app. You cant download directly without a app.

Download a file manager app too to deal better with files

And a text editor

With that probably you could manage badly. A dropbox app and a firefox app are useful too.

With all this you could code exactly like a pc , but are you sure you want code in a phone? its more work i could assure it

I am working on laying out the choiceofbox, you say it is confusng. What can I do to make it less so. I am working towards it being very easy to use and understand.

As far as gender

Basic script:

```

Hello, can you define if you are Male or Female.
*choice
 #I am Male
  *set gender "male"
  *set greeting "lad"
  *goto greeting
 #I am female
  *set gender "female"
  *comment or
  *set female true
  *set greeting "lass"
 *goto greeting

*label greeting 
Welcome aboard ${greeting}.

```

\*edit  
As far as help with dropbox look under common questions on choiceofbox, this should help

Well i had hated dropbox for having the maintenance and deleting some of my files so /🙂

Still to use the dropbox @GrimReaper21 is easy just copy the public link and paste and whala done.

If you already have dropbox account and downloaded it to your pc, phone, tab really anything, then:  
Enable the “Public folder”  
Enter that folder.  
Copy your game’s “web” (or whatever name you changed it into) folder there in the Public folder.  
Wait until it uploads with the green check thingy.  
Right-click your index.html files and click the dropbox public link.  
Paste (Ctrl + V) the link and whala!  
Everyone who clicks the link can play your game!
