I’ve made a start on a choose-your-own adventure.

I am using the Story and Adventure Extensions for the best of both worlds.

I’ve drafted a game sample here and I’m looking for feedback on optimising the code to handle users’ choices.

Before I progress with the game, is this the optimal way of approaching a game of this style? (I.e. each scene as a function, with my TTS plugin running in the ‘separately do’ timer functions, the text explaining the game appearing from the _Adventure_ plugin with the rolling text, and using the _Story_ plugin to handle the choices)

(Notes: Don’t focus on the game itself such as the images, or lack of an inspiring story. I’m just interested in the best approach to the code currently)
