ink VS drawio-desktop

That's awesome, thanks!

I am aware of Inform 7, I think it is awesome. A few months ago I made a quick demo using Inklescript[1], which I found simpler and more suitable to my project (a Star Trek adventure). Inform 7 remains something I wish to explore in the future when I need something more complex.

Thanks! ;)

As others have said, Twine is really a great starting point for text or choice-based games. If you'd like to get into the weeds a little more, I'd also shout out Ink, which is incredibly flexible and really fun imo, altho it def requires a bit more coding experience.

On the technology side, you might want to check out Inkle: https://www.inklestudios.com/ink/

Start writing in ink or twine.

Otherwise, Inkle is also quite good. (and people have made players for it in Unreal and Unity, so it's not hard to attach to existing game projects.) I don't think it has the nifty visual flowchart though, if that's a piece you care about.

I really like Ink. The developers made tons of games with it like the Sorcery! series, so it has a good foundation, and it's quite easy to write and organize, more than twine in my opinion.

Like every year, I'm organizing inkJam: a narrative oriented gamejam around the ink language. You can find last year's edition on itch.io

For anyone who is willing to use a webapp, I like drawio[0]. You can download locally[1] and self host (I just use the python webserver).

While finding the Github, I see they now actually package an Electron application, so that is probably worth exploring[2].

You can also get it for desktop. It's the same web app but I like to have it installed.

I like excalidraw for live discussions but if I want to make more detailed or better looking diagrams, I really enjoy these two tools:

- For drag-and-drop/WYSIWYG, I really like DrawIO. They have a web version https://app.diagrams.net/ but I strongly recommend the desktop version https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop/releases/

- For text-as-diagram, I think Mermaid wins this by default since GitHub added markdown support for these: https://mermaid.live/ (This was github's announcement https://github.blog/2022-02-14-include-diagrams-markdown-fil... )

Protip: get draw.io if you want to edit that file. Or just use the online https://www.drawio.com/ (previously diagram.net?)

LibreOffice Writer with Drawio-desktop (and Inkscape if it needs complex editing), if LibreOffice Writer is not enough you can try Scribus.

This is hard to understand. Can you make a diagram of your network, or a flowchart? I use this software https://www.diagrams.net/

Gibt es auch als Desktop App.

Perhaps diagrams.net (click 'more shapes' to add the electrical symbols). There is also yEd. It has logic gates, but I don't know if it has electrical components. Of course KiCAD is specifically designed for circuits, but that might not fit your application.
