The 100% Good Twine SugarCube Guide!

The 100% Good Twine SugarCube Guide is a coding guide for the SugarCube format of Twine. It is meant as an alternative to the SugarCube documentation, with further explanations, interactive examples, and organised by difficulty. The goal of this guide is to make the learning curve for new SugarCube user less steep, and provide a comprehensive and wide look over the format.

VIEW / DOWNLOAD THE GUIDE!!!!

The Guide is compartmentalised in (currently) four categories:

THE BASICS or the absolute basics to start with SugarCube. No need for extra knowledge. Just the base needed to make something.

THE BASICS + adding interactivity, and creating a fully rounded IF game May require a bit of CSS knowledge (formatting rules)

INTERMEDIATE MODE adding more customisation and complex code Will probably require some CSS knowledge, and maybe some JavaScript

ADVANCE USE the most complex macros and APIs Will surely require some JavaScript/jQuery knowledge

Note: The Advanced Use includes all the APIs, macros, and methods not covered by the previous categories. This includes code requiring very advance knowledge of JavaScript/jQuery to be used properly.

Each category explains many aspects of the format, tailored to a specific level of the user. More simpler explanations and examples are available in earlier chapters, compared to the later ones.

If something is unclear, you found a mistake, you would like more examples in the guide, or would like a feature covered, let me know!

The Guide currently covers all macros (as of SugarCube v.2.37.3), all functions and methods, and APIs. It touches upon the use of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and jQuery, when relevant. It also discusses aspects of accessibility.

The Guides also provides a list of further resources, for the different coding languages.

The Guide is available in a downloadable form for offline view:

HTML file that can be opened in Twine

.tw file that can be opened in Twine

source code, separating the chapters, .js and .css files

Macros? Macros.

So.

This post is about food and eating, in case you want to just scroll on by.

I'm a plus sized woman, perimenopausal, and I'm trying to keep from becoming plus-er and also I need to keep an eye on blood numbers for health reasons.

Ergo, I decided to start tracking my macros (I've food-logged before but only in a general way).

For the uninitiated, macros are protein/fat/carbs and some people group fiber into it. Mostly I needed to monitor my protein and fiber intake to make sure I was getting enough. I'm not trying to do low carb or keto-whatever, nor am I really trying to cut a massive amount of calories - although if you food log in any way you sort of end up managing calories at the same time.

It's been like...ten days, and friendos? I'm borderline shocked at the effect this is having on me.

After only a few days of getting like 130 g of protein and 50 g of fiber daily, it's like...someone reached into my brain, found the dial labeled "food noise" and turned it waaaaaaay down. I don't know how else to describe that phenomenon other than "food noise" and I suspect a lot of you will know what I mean. It's that niggling urge to eat something, the munchies, the thoughts that dwell on food, the hovering constantly around it.

It's just...gone.

I eat what I eat, choosing things with high protein and fiber, and then I just don't think about it anymore. No more sitting at my computer with my brain dwelling on how much I want some pretzels, or toast, or whatever else it wants. It's just QUIET in there. It's almost eerie. I crave nothing. I'm not boredom eating.

Like today, at my workplace on Fridays we get a free patio lunch of grill items (or salad bar if you prefer). I got a bbq pulled beef sandwich. It came with two sides, I got pasta salad and a bag of pretzels.

I ate the sandwich and about half the pretzels and I was just...done. I didn't want more. I feel like in the past I'd have gone on and eaten the pretzels anyway (pretzels are one of my favorite things) but today it was just "nah, I'm good."

I threw the pasta salad right in the trash.

Thoughts on specifics for anyone who's interested:

Protein is kind of That Girl of the moment for healthy eating so it's real easy to find higher-protein food items. They're putting extra protein in freaking everything. You can get high protein CHEERIOS ffs (I don't recommend them). This is all fine but protein sources are plentiful among regular foods. Meat, dairy, beans, plant based proteins, are easy to eat and plentiful.

I'm a big fan of the Oikos Triple Zero yogurt. It is NOT a Greek yogurt but it has like 15 grams of protein per container and it's very tasty. I like to take a cup of the vanilla one, add some powdered peanut butter + cocoa (PB2 powder, available in most stores) with a splash of milk for stirring, and some chopped walnuts. Chia seeds are another good addition (let them plump in the fridge before eating).

If you're logging anything for any reason a kitchen scale is your best friend.

One of the best bits of nutritionist advice I ever got is "add, don't subtract." Don't think about cutting foods from your diet. Think about adding more foods that will benefit you. Don't cut carbs, add vegetables. Don't cut sugar, add fiber. By adding beneficial things, you will naturally have less capacity and desire for the things you'd like to eat less of. And it will not feel restrictive.

Do not take advice from any online nutrition or health coach on instagram who is selling something (with the possible exception of if they have a cookbook, especially if the same recipes are also on their social media). The online coaches LOVE to get engagement with posts about how grapes are bad, actually and you shouldn't feed kids bananas (two actual real life takes I've seen - because sure, Americans are unhealthy because we just eat too many darned grapes and bananas, sure, that's it).

The app I'm using to track is called MacrosFirst and it's great. You can scan anything to add it, or search. You can set it to your own goals and what you want to track.

Eu ia continuar atualizando, mas só pode até 10 links por post, então não posso mais :((

Mac is wandering the castle when she ends up on the battlements. He ends up occasionally, and tends to just stargaze, but this is the first time they've noticed someone else up here with her. Immediately interested, they slink over quietly to see who and/or what they are.

@chaos-harbinger

Mac sees a man who fades into the stones when not looked at directly. He looks only a little older than Mer, with a full head of greying hair that was once a sandy blonde. He wears a white and red surcoat over meticulously shined chainmail. There is a crest on his chest, of a bear and crown and sword, which looks vaguely familiar to Mac. And he has a loop on his belt which might have once held sword and scabbard.

He is looking out over the meadow and into the forest. He has not yet noticed Mac.

The 100% Good Twine SugarCube Guide!

NOTE: while the Guide is in its complete form, it will be updated when SugarCube 2 updates (or if I spot a typo/error).

This SugarCube Guide was create as an alternative to the official documentation, providing a comprehensive and wide look over the use of Twine, particularly the SugarCube format.

The Guide is compartmentalised in four categories:

The Basics: or the absolute basics to start with SugarCube No need for extra knowledge. Just the base needed to make something.

Advanced More (incomplete): the most complex macros and APIs Will surely require some JavaScript/jQuery knowledge

Each category explains a multitude of aspects of the format, tailored to a specific level of the user. More simpler explanations and examples are available in earlier chapters, compared to the later ones.

Macros, Day 12

I won't be posting every day about this but I would like to use this space for some personal journaling about it. I will be tagging everything with "macros" and "lori's macros" if you'd like to block the tag.

All is well in Macro Land. My seven-day average is 142 g protein, 136 g net carbs, 68 g of fat and 1853 calories. That's a tad low on protein and a tad high in fat and carbs. I'm still tweaking, and it's hard, but I'm not sweating those variances.

I am still feeling steady and peaceful, except in my bank balance. Man it gets expensive eating like this. Also the downside to doing a lot of food prep and at-home eating is you clean the kitchen 8345 times a week.

Food win of the week: last night I made this recipe (https://thenaturalnurturer.com/creamy-edamame-chicken-salad/) and it was amazing (link below) if a tad dry - next time I will increase the dressing. Also it said it made 6 servings but this is 8 easily for how I'm using it (mostly in wrap sandwiches).

I also made a wrap with a low carb tortilla, a macro-friendly chicken tender in the air fryer (RealGood Foods makes lightly breaded nuggets and tenders that are awesome), a little red beans and rice and a drizzle of ranch and it slapped.

Food fail of the week: Tried a recipe for McGriddle muffins. Basically a mixture of Kodiak high protein pancake mix, crumbled breakfast sausage, cheese, syrup and milk. I didn't add as much syrup as it said to and they turned out pretty dry (also think I overbaked them). Kinda not great. I might try them again at some point, if only to use up the pancake mix (I don't really like pancakes).

Another win: apparently Costco has 18 packs of the Oikos triple zero protein yogurt which is my fave. Going tomorrow.

I did have my app set to let me track water but have decided to stop doing that. There's some thinking that the obsession with a lot of hydration is a bit overblown (gosh, something in the health-and-nutrition field being overblown? shocking) and you don't need to pound 150 oz of water a day, just drink when you're thirsty, so I'm trying to just do that.

Today I am heading out to a local farm market in search of more veg and maybe some nut butter.

[Uma thread informativa a todos! <3]

𝕄𝕒𝕔𝕣𝕠𝕤 𝕖 𝕄ú𝕤𝕔𝕦𝕝𝕠𝕤💪🏻

[A] Carboidratos:

Principal combustível utilizado pelo corpo como fonte de energia. É ele que vai te fazer aguentar correr, respirar, treinar e etc.

Ele pode ser divididos em dois tipos: carboidratos simples e carboidratos complexos.

— Carboidratos Simples:

São digeridos de forma rápida, produz a sensação de fome com facilidade. Elevam o índice glicemico (famoso pico de energia).

Exemplos = qualquer fast food, açúcares, doces em geral, bolos, massas, etc.

— Carboidrato Complexo:

São absorvidos mais lentamente, promovem sensação maior de saciedade, ajuda o organismo a processar melhor as vitaminas e proteínas. Ricos em nutrientes.

Exemplos = batata doce, arroz integral, vegetais em geral, aveia, feijões, ervilhas, lentilhas, etc.

[B] Proteínas:

Repõe a energia que foi gasta, aumenta e reconstrói o tecido muscular.

Proteína após o treino sempre! Quando você treina, seus músculos ficam "machucados" pelas contrações, a proteína ajudar a "sarar" o seu corpinho pós treino.

Mas, lembrem-se: nem toda proteína é limpa!

A proteína será considerada "suja": quando vier acompanhada de muito sódio e gordura saturada. Evite a proteína que vem de embutidos!

Exemplos: salsichas, nuggets, carnes fritas, e etc.

— Proteína limpa: peito de frango, atum, tilapia, soja, ovo, grão de bico e etc.

[C] Gorduras:

Fonte importante de energia (dá um gás para a contração muscular), promovem saciedade, produção de ácido biliar (essencial na digestão), ajuda na produção de hormônios.

Evitem passar de 15g de gordura saturada por dia, pois, assim como o carboidrato, nem toda gordura é boa!

— Gorduras limpas: oleaginosas, ovo, peixes, abacate, coco, chocolate amargo e etc.

— Gorduras saturadas: todas as porcarias que você imaginar ☠️ manteiga, miojo, salsicha, pastel, nutella, sorvetes e etc.

-----------------------------------------------

• O que leva a perda de músculos?

Simples, dietas altamente restritivas e o porquê disso é simples:

Poucas proteínas provocam perda de massa muscular!!

Como expliquei antes, é a proteína que ajuda na construção e manutenção dos músculos, logo, a falta de proteína reflete diretamente na perca dos mesmos!

Aliás, a restrição total de carboidratos também contribuem pra essa perda!!

Mesmo que o carboidrato não ajude no tecido muscular, ele é a principal fonte de energia do corpo, logo, se você consome pouco ou nada, o corpo vai buscar energia em outras fontes, consequentemente queimará músculo.

-----------------------------------------------

• Já respondendo uma outra pergunta que muitos fazem: Academia não vai te fazer crescer!!

É simplesmente IMPOSSÍVEL ganhar músculo com você fazendo alta restrição.

Você vai no máximo desmaiar por não comer carboidratos suficiente e não ter energia pra terminar uma sequência de exercícios!!

• E respondendo a mesma pergunta só que ao contrário: Você não vai hipertrofiar (ganhar músculo) comendo tão pouco!!

Multiplica seu peso por 1,6-2g e o total é a quantidade de proteína, em gramas, que você tem que consumir por dia pra ter PELO MENOS uma definição.

Pra ganhar músculo mesmo (hipertrofiar) é de 1,8-2,4g de proteína por quilo. Tem que comer a mais que a TMB e fazer musculação. Faz o cálculo que com o resultado você verá o porquê eu digo que é impossível ganhar músculo comendo 500 kcal!!
