#2 of Ru's Interactive Story

This is a link to a program I am writing which will work like a choose your own adventure story. Currently it supports character creation, character saving and loading, ascii artwork, and story/character logging. I thought I would see what you guys thought about it! It will only run on windows sadly, but I am working on coding it in flash for cross platform capability.


This is a link to Ru's Interactive Story Software, a program I am writing which will work like a "Choose Your Own Adventure" story which were very popular during the 80. This is the Open Beta of Ru's Interactive Story Software and this version will have a few stories for you to try out. Currently it supports:

• Character creation

• Character Saving/Loading

• ASCII Art "cover"

• Story and Character Logging

I thought I would see what you guys thought about it! Unfortunately, since I am still learning ActionScript 3 this version is coded in DOS and it will only run on windows. Future versions will be flash applications which can run on any system.

Get the program from my FileFactory account here:

Once you have it put it anywhere on your computer and run it like any other program. It will open a command prompt window in which you can read programmed in text and input commands like a MUCK or MUD. When you are using the program you simply type your responses to the questions the program asks you then hit enter. Its best to keep the responses short, two to four words only. Inorder to save a character, when prompted you must type in a name for the save file. The save file name may have no spaces, and only letters and numbers. To load a save you simply type the name of that savefile in to the program when it asked for it. Save files must be stored in the same folder as the program or it will not be able to load your save. A .txt file which will be created in the same place you put the program. The .txt is named "StoryLog.txt" Once the program is finished this log will record your PC username, the date and time you used the program, the name of the story, a description of your character, and the entire story as you plaid it out.

I would like to know what you guys think of my little program here, and if you have any suggestions for it.
