Twine has a steep learning curve!

Hi! Jaspar here.

Wow, I just spent my entire morning puzzling over code in Twine, the non-linear, in-browser, storytelling software. Now, it won’t let me publish my work! Arg. It’s time for a long, laborious work around. This is why, I guess, so many old school teachers won’t touch new technology. When you hit a wall, it takes a lot of fumbling to climb over it.

But, I made something in the end! Yay!

Please see the completed post here. I feel like dancing.
