How to save my work

Game Development ChoiceScript Help
#1

Very, very stupid question to all you skilled coders out there. I’ve looked everywhere and I can’t find anything even at the tutorials…

So I was wondering how I can, after editing my piece in Firefox, save it.

As something I can edit and try out again in the future.
As an exe that I can open (if possible)

I’m asking this because I saved a project by saving the page and now it’s giving errors like “autotester is not defined” etc, etc.

Am I doing it right by just using Firefox’ save page feature? Or is there an easier way that this noob does not know of?

Hmm. You should really be using a text editor (e.g. Notepad++) for writing, scripting & saving your work, and a browser only for test-running the game as a “player”. The first 3-4 pages of the Basic Tutorial on the Wiki should help to explain “what you need to do” things a big better:

No problem, glad to help. You might also want to keep an eye on this forum topic and maybe even bookmark the CSIDE website itself so you can download & try a copy as soon as it’s released. It completely replaces the usual editor / browser setup so all your writing, coding & testing (including Quicktest & Randomtest) takes place in one neat package, as well as offering many other advantages such as superb project management and much easier & simpler file handling.

If you’re using Notepad++, my mini-guide about custom syntax highlighting can be useful too.
Good luck, I wish you to create a really good game!
