Twine Harlowe Part 2
For the Harlowe online manual by the designer, Leon Arnott: Harlowe 1.2.3 and Harlowe 2.0.0. This page just gives a quick list of a few things one can do with certain Harlowe macros, for those who find manuals daunting.
Make a Random Word or Text (or Link) Appear from a List with (either:)
Format:
(either: “Random Text 1”, “Random Text 2”)
Examples:
The officer glares at you (either: “with unforgiving eyes”, “but there is a gentleness in the eyes”)
You’ll have to open the door, and so (either: “[[You open the door->Good Door]]”, ““[[You open the door->Bad Door]]”)
Generate a Random Number Like a Die Roll
Format:
(Random: Minimum#, Maximum#)
Examples:
(set $dieRoll to (Random: 1, 6))
(if: $dieRoll > 4)[That was a high die roll!!]
(else-if: $dieRoll >2)[That was a pretty good die roll]
(else:)[That was a pretty bad die roll]
