twinejs VS ideas

I think you and your kid would have fun designing a Choose Your Own Adventure game in Twine. https://twinery.org/

FWIW, there are a bunch of simple modern GUI builders, including GUI builders for the web, but none of them are popular, due to the sweet spot of supply and demand that Hypercard hit.

When Hypercard launched, it came with every Mac, it was free, and there was nothing else like it available on the Mac. On the Mac, the alternative to Hypercard was to layout UI widgets in code, with no GUI builder at all, or eventually to pay $$$ for a professional-grade IDE like CodeWarrior. As an entry-level user with no budget, if you wanted a GUI builder for the Mac, you got Hypercard, or nothing. This created a community of Hypercard enthusiasts.

Furthermore, when Hypercard launched, Macs had a standard screen resolution. Every Mac sold had a screen resolution of 512x342 pixels, so you could know for sure how your cards would look on any Mac. Supporting resizable GUIs is one of the hardest things to do in any GUI builder. (How should the buttons layout when the screen gets very small, like a phone? Or very wide, like a 16:9 monitor?) Today, Xcode uses a sophisticated constraint solver / theorem prover to allow developers to build resizable UIs in a GUI; it works pretty well, I think, but it's never going to be as easy to learn as "drag the button onto the screen and it's going to look exactly like that everywhere."

The last issue is the real killer for modern Hypercard wannabes: it's a small step from a web GUI builder to raw HTML/CSS. You don't have to pay big bucks to have access to professional-grade HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Sure, they're not that easy to learn, but you can teach a kid to write interactive web pages, no problem.

As a result, the demand for a simple GUI builder is lower than it was for Hypercard, and even when you do capture a user, they tend to outgrow your product, and there are a zillion competitors, so none of them can build a community with real traction.

There's ChoiceScript by Choice Of Games. It's more along the lines of Choose Your Own Adventure. If you're hoping to make something with a fair amount of random events, you might want to check out Twine.

I'm trying to update tweego with the story format harlowe 3.3.7. I've copied the .json and .icon files for Harlowe 3.3.7 from here : https://github.com/klembot/twinejs/tree/develop/public/story-formats

Here are 2 interactive story game engines: * https://www.renpy.org/ * https://twinery.org/

You use something like https://twinery.org/ for creating the dialogues, and then write abstract code to handle that.

State Encryption was one of those long requested features[0] (I had it on my ideas list for years[1]) that Hashicorp didn't have much incentive to build. I don't think it has to with distancing opentofu as such, but the opentofu team prioritizing the right things that customers actually need.

What I would really like to see is “subscribeable OPML feeds”, so GitHub could provide a OPML feed for what shows up in your home page, and you any changes in your subscriptions (repos you watch etc) would change the OPML, which would then cause your feed reader to unsubscribe/subscribe to specific RAS feeds.

Unfortunately, this isn’t supported by the majority of RSS clients (tt-rss is the only one I know) which means in practice OPML feeds are merely import/export mechanisms.

I’ve been wanting to write a Mastodon/Twitter twine compiler that would take an existing Twine story and compile it to a list of posts.

The primary difficulty is in flattening the state, which twine supports (apple=true, key=false in this story) but if it’s not too many variables might work out.

In my list of ideas is one for a Twine-compatible Twitter-Adventure Maker[0]. Remember those "choose your own adventure threads" that showed up on twitter and got viral a while back[1]. It would be great to be able to use Twine for authoring those.

I wish OPML (the import/export RSS format) was also subscribe-able[1] in more clients. So my GitHub "news feed" would live at github.com/captn3m0/news.opml (which would just be a list of RSS URLs), and the client would update this list periodically.

Same thing works well for Twitter, or other sites.

Almost exactly a fit against my idea[1] to generate OpenAPI from HAR files.

Want to build the same, but using boardgame.io. Search for Gym here: https://github.com/captn3m0/ideas

I've been wanting something like this for an idea of mine[1]. Would love to have the ability to send arbitary responses (JPG/PNG)
