Inspiration
Since the theme was Create Your Own Reality, my team decided that reality is really just a summation of the decisions that one makes. We took this as inspiration to create a Choose your own adventure application as the team leader has experienced these within their English major.
What it does
The project presents the user a story that they can choose to engage in and make decisions for the main character. Each decision affects the storyline and ultimately, the ending of the story
How we built it
- For the color scheme, we choose color-blind safe colors for the background and selection buttons'
- Using html, we built the skeleton and content for each story as well as incorporating functional buttons
- Using Javascript, we made those buttons redirect to different "pages" based on user input
Challenges we ran into
- Keeping stories to one page for players to easily read
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- We were able to get a working demo up in 24 hours
- Our story model is functional and can easily be expanded and added to
What we learned
My team members got to learn how Javascript works and how it makes web pages interactive. We also learned some basic CSS styling and worked on some basic HTML syntax.
What's next for Storytime
- Improved UI/UX design (3D and animation styles)
- Adding more stories and incorporating a kid friendly version!
