I intend to make some bite sized text adventures to give out for free. How do I place an image in the game while it is offline like some of the classic text adventure games for the Apple 2 or Commodore 64? If someone could give me something to just copy and paste in to Squiffy's desktop version that would be super helpful.

Here's a step-by-step guide: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp

Put the images you want into the same folder as the Squiffy files.

But note, the photo will not appear in the squiffy editor when you click "Build." It will only appear in the browser.
