Resource: IF Flowchart Guide

Flowcharts are used in IF to present the overall flow of the game from start to finish. Several unique symbols are arranged in an interconnected system of activity. When combined, a reader now has a holistic perspective of the game from room-to-room and event-to-event.

Different symbols represent different things:

• Rounded rectangle ▢: Start or end.
• Rectangle ▭: Presents instructions, story, or events.
• Diamond ◇: Player is presented with a decision.
