SLang is a software tool that simplifies story development. Users can divide their story into "Events" and establish connections between them using "dependancy rules." SLang then arranges the order of events and provides insight into individual story threads.
SLang is an impressive story-creation software that writers will find extremely useful. This acronym stands for "Story-Language", which essentially means that it is a tool that enables you to create stories in a more efficient and sophisticated manner. It functions like an index-card tool but with added features that make it stand out.
One of its standout features is its ability to break stories down into "events" that are accompanied by a block of text that describes the event. You can have various versions of these text blocks for each event, which SLang handles seamlessly. Additionally, it allows you to designate an event as "excluded" instead of deleting it, enabling you to come back to it later on.
Another useful feature of SLang is its ability to define special rules for each event called "dependency-relationships". These define which events depend on which others, and SLang can examine all the rules to put all events in a sensible order automatically. You can also organize events manually and/or generate an RTF or TXT file containing the entire story.
With SLang, you can experiment with different events that get included in the story or excluded from it, generating alternative routes through your story. The "Find shortest/longest path" utility will locate what events are required to reach a specific point in the story and list them in chronological order, helping you deal with individual threads.
Finally, SLang has an export function to ScriptMaker (a screenplay tool, which is also available for free from the same website). This feature creates an annotated "framework" for your script, saving writers valuable time and effort. Overall, SLang is a powerful tool for writers who seek a more efficient way of creating stories.
