No problem. You can always find help here, but make sure you search for the answer before, it might be there already.

You can look at this post, maybe you can try some tool to write that allows you to do the quickest and randomtest so you know your game is working fine before uploading.

I personally use VSCode with this extension:

> I’ve released a new extension for [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/), the popular programming text editor, that supports ChoiceScript. Along with syntax highlighting and auto-completing commands and variables, it shows common ChoiceScript errors as you write. You can find everywhere that you’ve used a variable in your game and globally rename a variable. It outlines your game, showing your choices, labels, and any \*global or \*temp variables. You can install it [from the extens…](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=StephenGranade.choicescript-vscode)

It highlights errors before you even test it. So it is super fast and convenient.  
But you can use CSIDE or any other editor of your liking.

Maybe you’ll find this helpful too. There’s a lot of stuff out there. And have a nice day you too.
