I'm trying to create my first story, and would like to know if there is a way to allow the player to click a link which will cause the game/application to quit or exit.  Like, at the end of the story, a [[Click here to Exit]].  Thanks for the help.

Please use the Question Tags to state the name and full version of the Story Format you are using, as answers can vary based on that information.

As TheMadExile explained to someone else recently...

Your game is a guest in the player's browser, be a good one.  Attempting to close tabs/windows without permission is not how you go about that.

... forcing someone's web-browser to shut down is generally considered bad manners, especially as they are already capable of doing that them-self via the web-browser's own interface.

This was what I was looking for, mostly.  I think what I'm really trying to figure out would be what I could do at the end of a game/story.  Probably a reset/reload link that would take them back to the beginning.  That would probably work best.

Thank you for the insight!  I suppose I blanked out that this game would be in a browser.

You still need to tell us which Story Format you are using.
