Hi, so I’m very new to coding and writing this kind of stuff so I’m looking for advice on what I should be doing. Currently I’m using a Mac laptop and am doing everything on text editor and Crome. Any advice would be awesome! Thanks in advance! ---

I recommend the ChoiceScript IDE, which you can find here: [About – The ChoiceScript IDE](https://choicescriptide.github.io/about/) It’s free, and it makes things a whole lot easier. I’ve been coding for a very long time, but I’ve only recently started writing in ChoiceScript, and I can’t imagine not using it. ---
