Testing out Twine:
- With a partner, create a storyboard with 3 levels (10 minutes)
- On one computer, partners will go to Twine and start coding story.
- Pair Programming hints: driver types and takes input from navigator; we will switch every 5 minutes
- If you get all your levels working, then you can add images & adjust color/fonts
