ive only read dead man walking and that story had a score element. is the score element something i need to add or is this a variable or somehting i need to add? i just want to do somehting simple like adding points for each page read or something so the further you survive in the story the more points. how can i do this?

The variable is already there. It is called %SCORE. You can set it the same way as other variables. For example if you have scripts enabled, you can do things like %SCORE:=5

thank you!

You could increase the value of the score variable with each link that the reader clicks (essentially each page read). As Fabrikant said, the score variable already exists so you'll just need to change its value. FYI the current variable only shows the reader their score when they comment at the end of the game, so when playtesting, it may be best to put the variable on each page to check if it works.

thanks so much!

Points don't work at all. They're lazy bums who count on handouts. Don't feed them, they just become dependent on you.
