Twine is a tool created by Chris Klimas for making interactive fiction in the form of web pages.
Software
Twine is available as a free software download for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux, for both versions (1 and 2).[1]
Twine emphasises the visual structure of hypertext and does not require knowledge of any programming languages as other popular game development tools do.[6]
Chris Klimas and the Twine development team created a second version of Twine. Twine 2 is a browser-based application written in HTML5 and Javascript, which can also be downloaded as standalone desktop app. Twine also supports CSS.[6] It is currently in version 2.0.11, as of November 2016[update].[1]
