The Ink Writing Tutorial examples don't run in Inky

[icanzilb]

I wanted to give the Ink Writing Tutorial (https://github.com/inkle/ink/blob/master/Documentation/WritingWithInk.md) a try but no examples seem to run with the latest release of Inky. I tried a number of examples but beyond "Hello world" nothing else seemed to work:

I'm not sure whether the issue is on Inky's side or the tutorial is outdated but in any case it'd be great if they worked together 👍

Hi! The example does work, but I believe it's missing a bit for simplicity's sake. What you're looking for is covered at the end of part 3 in the tutorial ;)

We should probably put a little note in the tutorial about this!

thanks! I got a bit confused about this because the very first example says:

So I thought each of the code snippets can be run on its own (e.g. could be a standalone .ink file)

To be clear: it can be run; and it has run! But then it errors at the end, when there's no more content.

So, @joningold - do you think it's good as-is? Close? I just pasted that example into Inky and I get no issues, but maybe that's related to #114 ?

In practice writing without ENDs everywhere you need them is common and to be supported! If we did anything I’d rather make runtime errors look different or something.

In the meantime tho, a brief “don’t worry about this” would be valid.
