Interactive CYOA Tutorial

A complete and comprehensive guide to using the Interactive CYOA Creator by MeanDelay.

View it live at one of these links:

• https://icctutorial.pages.dev/ – The recommended URL
• https://upasadena.github.io/interactive-cyoa-tutorial/ – Not recommended. The reason is threefold:
  1. Root-relative links are broken, as they were made with the pages.dev URL (and any other top-level domain) in mind, and…
  2. It's a much longer name (cf. https://icctutorial.pages.dev/extending-your-cyoa/ VS https://upasadena.github.io/interactive-cyoa-tutorial/extending-your-cyoa/)
  3. It's harder to memorize, because not only do you have to memorize interactive-cyoa-creator, but you have to memorize my username as well.

Building locally

Virtual environment

You may need to set up a virtual environment if you're deploying on your own machine due to conflicts of dependencies:

python -m venv venv/
# If you're on an externally managed drive on Linux, do the below command
# $ mkdir ~/tmp
# $ python -m venv ~/tmp/icct-venv/
./venv/Scripts/activate
# $ sudo chmod +x ~/tmp/icct-venv/bin/activate
# $ ~/tmp/icct-venv/bin/activate

Prerequisites

Automatic installation

Leverage requirements.txt:

pip install -r ./requirements.txt
# ~/tmp/icct-venv/bin/pip install -r ./requirements.txt

This may take a while for the first time.

Manual installation

Install the latest mkdocs-material beta release:

git clone --depth 1 -b 9.2.0b1 https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/
pip install --force -e ./mkdocs-material/

Install the plugins:

pip install mkdocs-minify-plugin mkdocs-git-authors-plugin mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin

Building from git clone

If you cloned the repository, you're all set!

Run:

• mkdocs serve to serve it (with changes being automatically applied), or
• mkdocs build to build a static version which can be run without serving each time and without mkdocs.

Building from source code

If you didn't use git clone, and instead downloaded the source from the Releases page, then you'll need to initiate a Git repository:

# change for whatever version you downloaded
cd interactive-cyoa-tutorial-0.1.0/
git init; git add .; git commit -m "Initial commit"
mkdocs serve # serve
mkdocs build # or build
