For sTarwars I had three pages at the beggining of the game.  Each one has ten numbers on it.  I hose my three favorite numbers from the different numbers and had each one add one variable.  If you chose the write three, your password VAR would be at three.  The password correct link needs three variables.  Simple. This is an example. (All the links go to the next page.

Trial Page

(Variable less then three) Password incorrect go to first page of the game.
(Variable = 3) Password correct.

Fancy-pantsies can even do this in one page:

__ Combination Lock __
You are trying to open the combination lock.

%%PWDSEQ%=%0%What number do you want to turn the dial to?%%
%%PWDSEQ%=%1%You turned the dial and now need to turn it for the second number?%%
%%PWDSEQ%=%2%Two down, what's the third number?%%
%%PWDSEQ%=%3%Numbers entered, now to open the lock ...%%

Eh, eh?

LOL -- I can't wait till we have even more advanced features like scriptlets. Do you realize that you could write your entire storygame in script and use only one page? It would be the hardest to maintain storygame ever ... but just picture it.

Variables: PAGE

--- begin post-initialize page script --- (runs right before the page and its links are displayed to the user) ----

CLEAR_PAGE_LINKS
IF PAGE=0 THEN
  SET $PAGE_TEXT := "You are on the first page. What would you like to do?"
  ADD_NEW_LINK
  $LINK_1_DEST := 2
  $LINK_1_TEXT := "Go to the second page"
END IF

IF PAGE=1 THEN
  SET $PAGE_TEXT := "You are on the second page. What would you like to do?"
  ADD_NEW_LINK
  $LINK_1_DEST = 1
  $LINK_1_TEXT = "Go back to the first page"
END IF 

--- end -----

By the way, anyone follow that? I want to give user ability to control just about everything in the GameState, but coming up with a syntax to allow that easily is going to be tough.

dude that made no sense.

you dont get it.

How do you know?  Experiance?

For me im either replaying games, trying to beat ITS HERE or posting or very rarely working on the tower which ive lost all inspiration for.

Thats what i do anyway.

HAHAHAHA! I ALREADY BEATEN IT'S HERE!!!!!!!

I feel so proud of myself ;)

It's impossible for me, you won't know why, though.

Err...sorry, I don't really understand..

What do you mean by fourteen and clicking?
