My way of CYOA games.

When I was in grade 3 I used to make CYOA books, I made them at school and printed them off their as well, sadly their gone as I don't think I brought them home (I believe either I lost them or the teacher took them). However I do remember how I would make them.

I also love Android FOSS games, you know the type where they're like less than half a megabyte yet they can be so addicting?

Well I combined my love for small tiny games and my love for CYOA to make a system to play CYOA games in one text file.
  • All you need is a text file reader.
  • Easy to play.
  • Really small in file size (for a basic game).
  • Can be easily understood to make your own CYOA games.
I made an example CYOA game that you can get. The download links are below.
:download: Catbox
:download: Discord
:download: (or read on) Mixtape

You might ask why i'm making kind of a big deal out of this, well I hope that other people make their own, or convert CYOA games this way because I think it's a really easy and simple way of playing them. You could play in on your computer, your phone or even a blackberry (I think they can read text files) and to save you just remember the number you're on.

Hope to see people make CYOA games like this because I probably will. (btw it took me like 10-20 minutes to make the example.)

Oooh interesting. Yeah its a shame CYOAs mostly died. They were mostly replaced by Text Adventure games I think. Having said that I do love a well written CYOA. Always fun to play one.
