Multiple Choice Boxes [Snowman 1.1]

GlitchGlitch
edited September 2015 in Help! with 2.0
I've been working with Twine 2.0 for a few weeks now, and have been very content with the software's capabilities thus far, and I'm incredibly grateful to the developers for open sourcing it. Now, with that being said, I do have a question.

The default method of linking passages isn't what I intend to use. I much rather utilize the type multiple choice depicted below. As I understand JavaScript could provide me with an alternative for choice selection, but I've been unable to find any details for such code; as far as Snowman 1.1 goes.

Could someone please explain how to script Multiple Choice boxes instead of the standard passage linking? I'm using Snowman 1.1, JavaScript, and HTML to create this particular CYOA game.

    Is the question malformed? I can clarify what I need to figure out, if needed. 44 views and no comments yet. I apologize if the first few sentences were a bit strange. I'd really appreciate some help on this, I can't move on until I find a solution to this question.

    Why not simply offer multiple choices as a group via a list of standard passage links? It's effectively the same thing (with one less interaction even), so I'm unclear as to why it's unsuitable. If the issue is the look-and-feel, that can be changed via styling.

    I'd do a mock-up, but really, this shouldn't be all that hard to visualize. Basically, imagine it similar to what you have now, save without the next button.

    Or I will do a mock-up anyway. :P

    Attached is a Twine 2 archive ready for import.

    Oh wow, that works beautifully! Thank you so very much, TheMadExile! I can definitely work with this. I really do appreciate the help, I couldn't get this far without people like you and all the others that have taken the time to answer questions. You're awesome.

    What kind of styling did you use, by the way? Could you post that as well?

    I had attached the Twine 2 archive of the project to the post with the image, though it seems to be missing now for some reason. Odd.

    Oh well, no matter. I'll simply attach it to this post. The only things you really need to look at are the starting passage, to see what I did with the links, and the Story Stylesheet, for the styles.

    I can't figure out how to download the file. It keeps linking me to this page.

    Right-click on it to open the context menu and use the Save link as…/Save target as… menu item (what it's called varies by browser).
