I’m afraid there’s a miscommunication taking place, let me try to clarify some things: CS game code resides in scenes - plain text files (.txt) that are located in “\web\mygame\scenes”. There you can create/modify your game code and prose with a text editor. Batch files (the ones that start a black window) are used to run your game or automated testing tools. You can find further info on basic coding in a tutorial created by CoG: > **[Introduction to ChoiceScript](https://www.choiceofgames.com/make-your-own-games/choicescript-intro/)** > > ChoiceScript is a simple programming language for writing multiple-choice games (MCGs) like Choice of the Dragon. Writing games with ChoiceScript is easy and fun, even for authors with no programmi… I would also agree with @Myrtle about **CSIDE** in this case. It’s a program that takes all of CS aspects and encapsulates them into single environment. Now you don’t need a separate text editor or web browser, it’s all in one place and with an intuitive user interface to boot.
