this, i guess, is more of a question of if its possible. i was thinking of making a game that you gain ranks. for instance, Corp., Leut., Major, General and so forth. I was wondering if it was possible to have those displayed as a variable. So, rather than having a number displayed on all pages, it would have the rank instead. is that doable as is or something that needs to be added?

No, it would be showing text if varible is between 1-4.  The text would be General.  Than if it is 5-8 it could show Lutinuet.  Showing the varible as text instead of a number would be helpful.  It's like for Charater Id on The Cave, if it is one it could show one's name.  If it is two it could show number two's name.

One adv-game idea I have is to create add two Game-level textboxes: Page Header and Page Footer.

The header would appear above the page text and the footer below it. The textboxes would support "codes" (like variable descriptions and conditional text) just like regular text. That would be a nice alternative to always showing variables on every page and allow you to control it at a chapter level:

[cond="CURRENTCHATPER(3)"]The current chapter is 3, and your score is [variable="SCORE"] [/cond]
