Can someone tell me the best code to learn to construct interactive stories for apps?

I am an artist working on my own interactive story for children. I realise that programming is a complex skill, but I am willing to take a course/degree in it I am specifically interested in learning code that will allow me to construct interactive stories for children. Can anyone assist me with this ?

The most elegant and writer-friendly system for storytelling is Inform7. However, if you are set on using Unity and have no real need to go beyond a very simple program, then you could get by just with one of the asset store packages designed for this sort of thing.

If by ā€œbest codeā€ you mean C# vs Js, the answer is objectively C#.

If the idea of coding is overwhelming, Playmaker can make things a lot easier.

I’d also look up Ren’py http://www.renpy.org/

Fungus seems to be a fine choice. I’ll be using striped-down version of it in Computer Virus Simulator (striped down because I only need a message system), but the whole package is available for free on Asset Store and is released under MIT license.

Hey there… Thank you for the advice… Each one has its own merits. I need to way up which one suits what I’m doing. I appreciate the feedback!
