Hey there,

So, I originally began with the Android app, and I want to learn how to make it work so badly…and I am learning, slowly. Anyway, I just realized that you had a PC version and I am running Linux (Ubuntu 19.10 eoan ermine, soon to be the 20.04 LTS). So, I d/l’d the correct (I am 99% sure) one, which is listed last, the cyoa-factory-linux-x64.zip I did what I usually do when getting a zip, I Extract, Extract again, and then I see a larger, of course, file called simply cyoacyoa And both my computer and I have no clue what to do next to install it. Someone said I had to “make” that file first, and I think I did that one other time, but I do not remember. I was hoping I could have a few moments of your time to explain this process to me…please. In the meantime, I shall sign off with a very sincere Thank You for making a great CYOA Factory. Oh, and had quick Idea about a Journal system in which you maybe make a Boolean like HasReceivedGoblinQuest=1 but then for the Player’s benefit, it also puts it in a Journal so that Players can check what they need to do, have done, etc. Just a thought…you likely have already gotten one similar, or, it could be far too much for you to incorporate it into the Game, or far too much for most creators to want to put in their stories. OKay, Tnanks again. MichaelTheGamer

I use a packager to build for each OS. I'm not sure why the linux version is so hard to work with. It is marked as executable so you should be able to run it. You certainly don't need to make anything.

For it to work for me I had to open a terminal, `cd` to the right directory and then run './cyocyoa'.

Your idea for a journal or quest log sounds awesome. I'll consider adding that to a future build. Thanks!
