A newbie herre

Hi all, If this is a repeat question then I do apologize.

I am creating a small Learning management system for my students(free) and want them to be able to access it online. I am using Twine/sugarcube/windows10.

Since I am totally new to this domain and how to use it I have a load of questions.

So here we go. Thanks

1.  Where can I find information about uploading and downloading?

2.  Will my project work on phones as well as PC?

3.  Since my project is free for all to use and does not have any pay option is this domain really stable?

4.  The options in Sugarcube for saves will be important as students can stop study and pick up where they left off.  Will these features still be available?

5.  I have played a few games here. and see that they were downloadable.  Are all games downloaded only? or can some of them be played online as well?

6.  How complicated is the uploading process for myself?


That's about all I can think of for now. As this is still a new project.


Its a English learning system for CHinese college students. It will have Reading, key words(matching), fill in the blanks,  videos, and possibly an option to send homework to me via email.  I wonder if all this is possible.


thanks and happy new year

Those are all good questions! Let me see.

  1. Look through the itch.io FAQ first, please. Ask if an information is missing, unclear or hard to find. Thanks.
  2. Yes, SugarCube works remarkably well even on low-res smartphone screens (and CPUs).
  3. Well, itch.io has been around for almost eight years now. It's popular and beloved. Our admins are easy to reach, and still working on the site. I'm confident.
  4. You'll have to ask the maintainer of SugarCube, but its last release was less than a month ago. And Twine as a whole is supported by the Interactive Fiction Technology Foundation. More specifically, SugarCube allows players to back up and restore saves to/from files in addition to the browser's local storage.
  5. Many games on itch.io can be played online. In fact we have explicit support for them. A game exported from Twine can even be uploaded as-is, no extra steps.
  6. See the FAQ, but basically you just have to click New Project on your dashboard and fill in the fields. Just try it!

You're welcome. Hope this helps. And please look through the SugarCube documentation for added features such as forms and multimedia. Sending e-mail is another story however: itch.io isn't made for e-learning, and we have limits on members sending e-mail through the site.

Edit: I just found your post from four months ago that didn't get any answers. Sorry about that, but you posted it in the wrong category, and anyone who could have answered probably never noticed it. I moved it now, but it's probably too late.

hi,   things here for me have been totally crazy and havent even checked my emails.

But I appreciate your replies and help. I am going to step forward on this project.

its not so much on elearning as it is a medium for my friends, students, clients to read and interactive book and have some quizzes involved.

again, thanks and sorry for the delay. Covid has just totally demolished my career and life but fortunately, I am healthy and covid free. what a nightmare this CRON stuff is.

hopefully it will be over and we can ALL go back to having a decent life again.


thanks
