A mini framework for the Text based terminal jam, using terminal-kit and a YAML-like story format.
See it in action with an example story on replit
By default it looks for a file called start.txt inside the story/ top-level folder. From there you can create the entry to your story and link to pages (or options) using an easy-to-use syntax.
The framework supports two YAML-like directives, [Text] and [Options].
[Options]are the options that the player can choose- and
[Text]is what renders on screen before the options
Note: You can change the color of your text using color directives in the following format: ^{color_first_letter}, ex ^yMy Text Here will render the text yellow.
To see a full list of supported colors, see the terminal kit documentation for colors
An example page could look like the following:
[Text]
^yYou try and climb a tree
^cThe branches snap under your weight, and you fall to the ground. Before you fall you see what looks like a trail ahead of you.
You are injured.
[Options]
Follow trail => forest/trail.txt
Wander somewhere else => forest/wander_deeper.txtWhich will render like the following:
