Adventure

A Markdown-driven, Choose Your Own Adventure-inspired, interactive story engine. The successor to Lysithea.

Format

Adventure treats Markdown as Markdown. However, it requires the following changes in order to create interactive stories:

Sections are defined as all content between H1s, or the last H1 in a file and the end of a file. Sections are effectively pages, and define all text that can be displayed to the reader at a given moment.
With the exception of the first H1, H1s are not displayed. The first H1 is displayed as the title of the first page.
H1s are used internally as section names.
Choices are implemented like Markdown links, with the format: [II](choice:Chapter Two). Here, "choice:" is picked up by Adventure, which displays a link labeled "II". Interacting with this link loads the content of the section titled "Chapter Two". Destinations are case (and space) sensitive.
Choices are tracked using the names of the sections visited, including the section currently displayed.
Text can be displayed based on previous choices. This is also implemented like the standard Markdown link. The format here is [The text you want to appear.](decisions:plum,conservatory,candlestick). Here, "decisions:" is picked up by Adventure. "The text you want to appear." only shows up if all choices in a comma separated list of choices - in this case "plum", "conservatory", and "candlestick" - were previously chosen. Note that all of these choices must have been made. If 'decisions:' specifies "plum", "conservatory", and "candlestick", and the reader's previous choices included "plum", "conservatory", and "pipe", this text will not show up.

Make the "load external file" experience more elegant. Use a modal after the "Load" link.
Add functionality for notifications (not desktop notifications). Can be used to notify the user of things like successfully (or unsuccessfully) loaded stories, and errors with the live editor.
Redesign the header to look less like a list of random options.

Deal with H1s. Either lock section names, or figure out how to make them mutable without breaking things.
Deal with extremely long, Aeneid-length sources.
