A Conversation

Load

File > Open > scene15.cde

Two of our friends return to a place where they played when they were young. Not much has changed, and our friends are happy to return here.
They start a conversation. At first they share memories. They notice things in the scene and they describe them. Then the conversation moves on.

Start adding code

Remember to add code in pairs of lines.

1. Choose two characters who will have the conversation. Add them into the scene where you want.

2. Start off by getting the characters to describe the scene. Remember that it is a conversation, so when one speaks (says(…)) the other must rest().

3. Then the characters could think about “what happens next?” This is also a conversation.

4. Now code an ending to this story. Is there a final conversation, or is there some action? Or a promise to meet up again?
