testing and using conditionals with sheets

Branching scenarios can be a pain to design. Happily, you can use a simple tool called Twine to easily draft the scenario and produce it. In this post we'll look at a scenario that I wrote to demonstrate Twine's basic features and to make a point about teaching through stories. In the scenario, you're a journalist in a hurry to get to a hot story in Zekostan, and your "guide" can't speak English or drive. You have to quickly learn the necessary Zeko terms to navigate the roads and respond to events along the way. The scenario was inspired by a language-learning activity designed by Kinection. Try the activity, keeping in mind that it's a casual, unfinished experiment. Then come back here for more about Twine and my design decisions.

A good mindmapping site. Add branches easily and illustrate with colourful icons.
