Noob here where do I start?

[TJKnight]

I’m a writer who is currently working on an Alien/Scifi Romance series for kindle. While doing some research I stumbled upon Community College Heroes. I got super excited about it, did some research and ended up here

My question - where in the heck does a Noob get started? Any links or articles anyone can point me too so that I can ready and try to figure out how this all works?

I have zero scripting or programming experience.

Thanks.

The main website has a good basic introduction

The wiki is good for more specific things.

@RETowers has a tutorial

The Beginners Guide to ChoiceScript

So, any long time member may know that I made a ChoiceScript Guide. Well after so long and so many iterations, I’m closing in on completing it. My intentions with this guide is to create something that, no matter your level of skill or computer knowledge, it can teach you the basics of ChoiceScript. For me to consider it truly ‘done’ though, I want to make sure it includes every thing that any aspiring ChoiceScript writer may want. So if you don’t know what to do with ChoiceScript, try checking …

Welcome to the forums, TJ.

As someone who also just started coding recently, I wish you luck and patience. It can be hard when starting out, but you’ll get the hang of it and, in my case at least, it might even be kind of fun to experiment and play with.

And you’ll have plenty of help if you ever get to stuck.

I need help with something it goes much like this:

In my game classroom number 12 is attacked. The school goes on lockdown. Rana who is a friend in classroom 12 does not seem to escape. So, there is the choice that you can enter and try to save her or stay put. If you save her there is a scene after wards where you talk to her. I want to know how to make it, so she says “thank you for saving me” while if you did not save her, she says nothing to you, but explains how she escaped alone and unaided. Can you or somebody help me?
