How to play Addventure

(the addvanced features)

So... trying to be fancy? Want to link to other ${RoomW}s that have been created? Want to be told when people extend your storyline? Mastered all of the basic features of the game? In that case...

New ${RoomW} notification

The notification feature causes Addventure to send you email when a new ${RoomW} is created from one of the options you provided. To enable this, you must do two things:
  1. Check the box on the option entry page, indicating you want the email
  2. Provide an email address in the adjacent box where you will receive the notice.
This email address is only used to send you email, and is not otherwise available.

Backlinking

Linking from one of the choices in a ${RoomW} you are creating to a previous ${RoomW} requires three steps:
  1. The ${RoomW} you are linking to must have linking enabled
  2. You must indicate on the scenario entry page how you want to pick the ${RoomW} you are linking to
  3. You must enter the ${RoomW}(s) you wish to link to as part of the option entry page

Linking enabled

Those ${RoomW}s that you may link to from a later room say Linking Enabled at the bottom of the page.

To designate that linking to a ${RoomW} is allowed, select the box labeled Link to this ${RoomW} later on the option entry page. This has the side effect that children of rooms that may be linked to will not have a built-in link to their parent room.

Requesting backlinking

When creating a new ${RoomW}, you need to indicate that you would like one or more of the options to link to a previous ${RoomW} on the text entry page. The pull-down menu towards the middle of the document labeled Create all new ${RoomW}s may be selected to choose one of the options:
Create all new ${RoomW}s (default)
No backlinking. All new ${RoomW}s are created.
Allow links to previous ${RoomW} - list by title
Each option in the option entry screen will have a scroll box next to it with the ${RoomW}s that may be linked to. This list of ${RoomW}s is sorted alphabetically by the title of the ${RoomW}.
Allow links to previous ${RoomW} - list by number
Each option in the option entry screen will have a scroll box next to it with the ${RoomW}s that may be linked to. This list of ${RoomW}s is sorted numerically by the ${RoomW} number.
Allow links to previous ${RoomW} - don't list
Each option in the option entry screen will have a numeric entry box next to it for you to enter the ${RoomW} number in.

Selecting backlink ${RoomW}s

Selecting the ${RoomW} to backlink to depends on the method you chose to display them in the previous step:
