I’m happy to release to the public version 1.0 of a project that has been in the works since November of 2024. It started out as a humble C64 BASIC program. The software is for Windows 10/11 and Linux using wine. For Windows 10, the minimum version is 1809. While the studio and all the features wor…

Is there a way to see the Docs without running the program? I have neither windows nor linux available, but would still be interested.

Love the credo you wrote: If you can think it, you can make it. If you can make it, your can play it. If you can play it, you can share it. Think it. Make it. Play it. Share it. :+1:

Cloak of Darkness with images and audio With the upcoming release of version 1.1, I applied its enhancements to Cloak of Darkness. Here is the web version implementation of the IF “Hello World” but now with images and audio effects. There is an audio effect for winning and one for losing. I used st…
