Allow your reader to customise the story

Step 1: Creating a set-up passage.

Asking your reader to input information pops up a box over your story.

Open your first passage, then copy and paste the below code at the top, before your story starts.

(set: $name to (prompt: "Hello, what is your name?", ""))
Welcome to the story $name!

This does a few things:

• Sets a new variable $name
• Uses a prompt to ask the reader for some information
• Uses the newly created variable in a sentence

Test it out, then edit the code so that it fits your story.

• What do you want the pop up to say?
• What happens when you put something inside the blank speech marks "" at the end of the first line?

If you have asked your reader for their name, you should use it in your story! Look through all of your paragraphs, and add $name to put their name into the text.

What other questions could you ask your reader? How will you use this information throughout your story?
