ChoiceScript is a scripting language from Choice of Games LLC for creating choose-you-own-adventure games.
Inputs
While most ChoiceScript games use text and choices to drive their stories, there is also functionality to supply input: the commands *input_text and *input_number.
Text
The command *input_text, as it name implies, shows a text box for the user to enter text. The variable name should follow the command and will be where the entered text will be saved.
Numbers
Similar to *input_text, the command *input_number provides the user the ability to enter numbers instead of text. However, while *input_text allows for entering any amount of text, *input_number must be given a range from the minimum and to a maximum.
