About the ChoiceScript Wiki

This Wiki is a ChoiceScript Game Developers' Community Project, created by the community, for the community.

What is ChoiceScript?

---

ChoiceScript is a simple scripting language developed by Adam Strong-Morse and Dan Fabulich of Choice of Games LLC for writing text-based, multiple-choice games.

Developing Interactive Novels with ChoiceScript is simple and fun. It's free to use, doesn't require any previous programming experience, and it's very easy to learn -- while also being a powerful and flexible development tool for experienced users with highly creative ideas.

ChoiceScript games can be published on the web, on iOS, Android and Kindle devices, and even on Steam. ChoiceScript authors earn royalties from their games when published by Choice of Games LLC. (View the requirements on their website.)
