Chris is this possible to do with adventuron book mode?

I have page 001. I want to write description but there are no choices only press any key prompt. After pressing key i goto page 002. And again i output description and wait for key. After that the book ends.

I describe the pages in on describe code part. But this way i see output from both pages and then the press any key prompt blinks. I will post the code tomorrow. Maybe it is just something weird that i do with the goto command. When i use add option and inside it goto page commabd it works as intended.

EDIT: nevermind, figured it out the next mornin.. problem with the :done; commands they are very important :) here is the code

themes {
rounded_orbit : theme {
extends = two
theme_settings {
capitalization = original
layout = SB O X
columns = 48
shader = none
hide_status_bar_on_endgame = false
}
screen {
experimental_paper_section_corner_rounding = 5
status_bar_padding_top = 4
status_bar_padding_bottom = 3
}
colors {
border = #50D
paper = #000
status_bar_paper = #090
status_bar_pen = 14
}
}
}

start_theme = rounded_orbit

game_information {
game_name = test weird page bug
game_shortname = IOC
written_by = Rigachupe
year_of_original = 2020
year_of_release = 2020
uuid = 91383016-8664-4c4c-ad93-0ff6ba2c19c7
short_synopsis = Gamebook Story
game_version = 1.1.2
}

game_settings {
gamebook_page_scan_regex = true
}

start_at = 001_start

pages {
001_start : page "Page 1" ;
002_some_event : page "Page 2" ;
003_the_end : page "Page 3" ;
}

on_describe {
: if (is_at "001_start") {
: print "This is start page" ;
: add_choice "goto page 2" {
: goto "002_some_event" ;
}
: choose "what now?" ;
}

: if (is_at "002_some_event") {
: print "This is second page" ;
: press_any_key ;
: goto "003_the_end" ;
: done;
}

: if (is_at "003_the_end") {
: print "This is third page" ;
: done;
}
}

Just want to say it might be easier to put your on_describe {} blocks inside the page directly....

For pages, I made on_describe {} implicit inside the {}.

001_start : page "You are in a room." {
      
      : add_choice "Choice text 1"  {
         // Do something
      }
      
      : add_choice "Choice text 2"  {
         // Do something         
      }
      
      : add_choice "Choice text 3"  {
         // Do something
      }
      
      : choose "Choose ..." ;
      
   }

That is nice, thanks for the tip. But something is not allowed this way. Look at this code please, i explain underneath what is strange looking to me :

pages {
001_start : page "Page 1" {
: print "This is start page" ;
: add_choice "goto page 2" {
: goto "002_some_event" ;
}
: gosub "select" ;
};
002_some_event : page "Page 2" {
: print "This is second page" ;
: press_any_key ;
: if (true) {
: goto "003_the_end" ; -> works only when inside if or choice
}
//: goto "003_the_end" ; -> why not directly?
//: done; -> ok no needed
};
003_the_end : page "Page 3" {
: print "This is third page" ;
//: done; -> ok, no needed
};
}

subroutines {
select : subroutine {
: choose "what now?" ;
: done ;
}
}

I understand the ":done;" can be deleted, that is fine. But the "goto page" command cannot exist without if or choice. There are sometimes pages where you do not have any choice just show some text, wait for 'press any key' and 'jump to this page'. This can be added as "choice" or "always true if statement" workaround... Is there any possibility that the goto command in future version would work without if/choice?
