Howdy yāall!
[Robin]: This week I got really weird with it. My pal is having a birthday soon (shhhh) and he adores two things in life: text adventure games and Animal Crossing. So, I thought, what if I made a website thatās a text adventure game based in the Animal Crossing universe? Is that too much as a gift? (No! Friendship is eternal!)

Iāve been making this thing with Twine which is āan open-source tool for telling interactive, nonlinear stories.ā What you do is write bits of text and then connect them together in their app or on their website:

Then you can export a HTML file with all the markup, styles, and JavaScript bundled inside it. And there you have it: a custom made text adventure game. I knew all I had to do after the export was edit the styles to make it look the way I wanted and then: boom!
My realization this weekend whilst hacking away on this thing isnāt anything technical. It was something else. I knew that a website can be a worry stone, something you throw all your anxiety and stress at. But I didnāt know that a website can be a gift as well. š |
