    1. Update the table view to display the new choices associated with that scene
  • Else display a "Next" button to continue to next scene
• If the player does not have any available choices, but there is another scene to advance to
  • Update the view to display the new text from that scene
  • If there are choices associated with that new scene
    1. Update the table view to display the new choices associated with that scene
  • Else display a "Next" button to continue to next scene
