"When it comes to games, I know platformers. So I guess that's what I'm doing!"
Heh... Now I kind of want to see a text-based platformer:
You see ahead of you a gap and then another platform part-way across, and elevated above, that gap. Above that platform is yet another platform, but this one has a guard walking back and forth across it.
"Jeez, I wonder if that guy has to do all of this ridiculous jumping to get up there for work every day," you think to yourself.
Do you:
- Run and jump at the edge of the gap up to the next platform.
- Run and jump from a bit further back, trying to double-jump up to the next platform.
- Walk up to the edge and cautiously look down to see if you see any easier-to-get-to platforms below.
(Just kidding, by the way. I know Twine lets you do more than just text, this was just what popped into my head when you mentioned making a platformer for this.)
