Twine Code for variables
I'm working in Twine right now, and I'm stuck on the coding process for one of my variables; specifically, the variable time ($time).
I start off my story with two hours, and I want to show time passing; for instance, from 2 hours to an hour and then to a half hour.
What's the proper format, so that I can get the amount of time decrease?

I don't believe any story format includes a built-in method for tracking time.
Are you trying to track the actual time that the Reader has been reading/playing your story/game? or are you just tracking subjective time passing in your story/game?
If subjective time, then all need is a $variable which you modify as needed. How you setup the variable's initial value and the syntax of the set macro needed to change that value depends on the Story Format you are using.
