Oh, hey, I should add another word here. And put a comma there. Also I can probably shorten this code further.
Uhh, what was I doing again?

The real question is, does anyone find debugging fun?
I do! Thereās something satisfying about cleaning up code. I tend to enjoy revisions more than a first draft, too - itās nice having something more than a blank page to work with.
Thanks for your reply @HarrisPS 
This is the closest to how I have been going about things so far. Whilst I havenāt really written a proper story yet, I have been experimenting with the code and stat changes using placeholder text and making sure things work properly before adding a more polished narrative.
Appreciate the link - that will come in very handy, thanks! 
āCmd + Sā may have developed into a nervous tick at this point 
Sometimes I do it even when Iām not coding. But yeah, itās funny until it happens to you.
Out of curiosity; do you code in CSIDE, Notepad++, or Chronicler?
Oh my god. I procrasinate too much, and then sometimes I just really canāt write. I have the plot figured out and stuffs but I just canāt write it. Problem is length too, if I feel like I donāt describe much or make it feel like Iām not pointlessly clicking through only for someone to finish the game in 20 minutes or less.
My method for writing isā¦
āLetās not do that today- Yeah, this- nah, Iāll do it tomorrowā¦ maybe another time, eh today will work. writes 5 words, ehā¦ letās not do that today.ā
I use Sublime Text 3. I cannot remember why. I think I must have downloaded it when I started out programming HTML and stuff.
Try using CSIDE. That is what I use. It automatically formats everything and compiles your project so that you can play it instantly. It also detects any syntax errors your code might have on runtime.
Thanks @CyberFox I will definitely look into it!
I use Notepad++ with a slightly modified Choicescscipt language-highlighting plugin.
I outline first, then most often write text and code at the same time. Sometimes Iāll add the code first, then fill in the text later, but I only do that if Iām not in a head-space to write properly.
