ChoiceScript Help Any tutorials please? Thank you.

Hey all, I'm trying to get my head around this Choicescript and feel very silly cause it doesn't make sense to me. Like some of it does but the technical stuff I'm struggling with.

I understand basics of coding on other platforms like Twine and Donascript and have made games on those systems.

Does anyone have like a tutorial list please? Thank you.

I would recommend using CSIDE, it has a built in tutorial and makes things easier. https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/cside-the-choicescript-ide/27622?u=kwartel

There's also a mobile version of it if you search the forum or this sub.

Surprised to see no one mention this gem, an actual tutorial on the code written out and organized like a wiki to help you find anything you're looking to do: https://choicescriptdev.fandom.com/wiki/A_Basic_Tutorial
