How to Import Twine Files

One way to import Twine files into Yarn is to export a "Twee" file from Twine. (txt format) Open this txt file in Yarn as you would any other file.

Note: This method of importing will not preserve node locations, just each node's title, body and tags.

How to Run Your Dialogue in Unity

You can find basic Yarn parsing and playback example code here:

How to Run the Yarn Source as an App

Download http://nwjs.io/ for your platform and extract the contents.

Win64: Download the latest nwjs for Windows 64bit. Extract the content to wherever you like. Drag the yarn folder into nw.exe and it should run yarn! (if not ensure that the yarn folder has package.json in it). Alternitavely run nw.exe and navigate to C:/path_to_yarn/Yarn/app/index.html

MacOS: Place source code in a new folder named "app.nw" inside the extracted nwjs.app's "Contents/Resources/" folder. (to explore an app's folder structure, right click and select "Show Package Contents")
