\"30darkmoves\"<\/a>I knew what this was going to be the minute I finished reading Steve’s story. It just lent itself naturally to the interactive fiction game environment. The problem I had in maintaining that element in a hypertext environment was the brevity of the pieces and the limited amount of time to establish anything more than a fairly simple story.<\/p>\n

As you can see in the map, there’s another strange long rectangular note and that’s something I’ve been making use of as a quick place to scribble notes. In this case, I had the plan for the layout, the rooms and the paths, the choices, the endings, and a few coding imperatives once the templates were established. I seem to have gotten into a rhythm with these pieces by first establishing a rough map outline once the concept is in mind. On this piece, it was the first time I wrote the story out in a basic thread that would lead through all the rooms and paths, while keeping in mind the potential links and outcomes.<\/p>\n

This one offered many opportunities to play with the hypertext medium for effects and time was the only restriction. One of the thoughts I had but didn’t incorporate was to leave solid color spaces with the same color text as hidden links that would produce a random effect based upon where the reader clicked on the area (hitting a text link without being aware of it). Something to play with when I have more time.<\/p>\n

It’s a fun one and there’s one thing I can guarantee: there is a way out. There are five ways out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
