Getting Started

Getting Started with Anansi

This tutorial will get you started with authoring interactive stories in Anansi. It covers the following topics:

• Adding a single character
• Adding a single location
• Writing dialogue for your character

It may feel like there are a lot of moving parts, but once you understand the basics, you can create some really dynamic story plots. If something could be clearer or added to the tutorial to help new learners, please consider making a new GitHub Issue describing your suggestion
