Scripting a ChoiceScript Game on a mobile phone?

I didn’t know where to put this, but it’s sort of an announcement/ discovery. So a really long time ago someone asked about coding on a phone. It seemed super complicated, and not manageable. I myself wondered if it was possible to make it easier. Recently I took up writing Chronicles of Hallarmuli again after a long break. But it’s just so hard when I’m at work all the time or in class, so I decided to unravel the mystery that was coding of a phone. Surprisingly I managed to get it to work.

I’m not sure about other phones, but I have managed to start coding on my IPhone(Apple Iphone). Thus far I haven’t encountered any problems. Variables and scenes transfer and work fine, and I haven’t had any trouble with the browser as it seems Safari works just as well as Firefox. I have not tried to transfer the files over to dashingdon yet, but expect it won’t pose a problem. I’ll detail the steps here down below for any who want to take up the challenge. The directions on other threads were not detailed so here you go.

1.) Go to the App Store and download the app iZip
2.) Then download the app Documents by Readdle
3.) Go to the link to download choicescript.
4.) Download in and choose to unzip the file in iZip
5.) Choose any scene you wish to edit and move it to Documents.
6.) Edit at your leisure.
7.) Once you make the edits you want click the three little dots in the upper right corner and choose share.
8.) Share it to the iZip app(you’ll have to click a .txt file, but it won’t replace said file.)
9.) Go back and delete the old file and boot up your game with the index link in safari.

I don’t think any of the tests will work, because it isn’t supported by iZip, but you can compile an HTML file. I’ll update the more I learn, but in the meantime enjoy your phone coding.
