Week 4 Lab- Tech Tip: Twine
Hello all!
This week, I made my first Twine. It was definitely an experience. I will probably try to make a Twine story for this class. It is a unique way of telling a story that gives readers a chance to engage themselves in the story telling. For all of you who don't know what Twine is, it is a program that allows you to create your own story, allowing for different endings and twists. You, as the author, are allowed to pick parts of the story where you want to branch off and create different endings. When you publish this, readers are able to pick how the stories progress, giving them a chance to tell their own unique story!
This is very similar to the Black Mirror Netflix film recently released that has a copious amount of combinations for the ending.
Another way to use it could possibly be for education. Often, we fall into the traps of certain concepts in a class. It would be fun and engaging if we had a game like this, allowing us to understand where we went wrong. For example, the question could be like 20x20=.., and the answers would be 4, 40, 400. If we picked 40, then it would pop up and say you forgot to carry a zero or something like that. Obviously, it could be way more difficult than that.
