Twine Programming

[Wiploc]

Does anybody here use Twine?

There are games I want to play, and nobody invents them, so I need to make them myself.

I've just started with Twine, and I'm having problems. Even when I copy and paste straight from the documentation files, things don't run right.

If I type this ...

<<set $number to 5>>

You have $number

then running the program should produce this ...

You have 5

but what it actually produces is this ...

<<set>>

You have $number5

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, if anything.

Looks like there were some changes in newer versions. The example works in SugarCube 1, but not in 2. And it seems there are more macro languages to choose from.

Yes! It runs in the old Sugarcube!

Thanks.

Never even heard of it before. I'm not much for the exotic languages.
