so i'm a complete novice and i'm not sure if this is even possible? but i've been googling ferociously for two days because i really wanna make this happen.
i'm using sugarcube in twine 2.0.11 and i'm wanting to simulate a group chat happening in "live" time (i.e. a skype group chat, irc chat, texting). so, each line would automatically appear at intervals underneath the previous line, and the lines/dialogue/passage text are all contained in a window/box with a scroll bar. ideally the lines would auto-scroll upwards as each new message appears at the bottom, but if not, the user will have to manually scroll as they read!
i'm not sure if this is possible but thank you so much for replying if you do!! i know this is a huge ask! please let me know if you think i should be using something else.
here's a quick picture of what i have so far...it's basic content. i don't know how to contain the text in the border either unfortunately.
