Whee! Screenshot!
September 12th, 2009 9:50 amOK, so I have a working prototype!
Kind-of pointless screenshot.
Not very exciting, but it works. Create and edit pages here (starting with ‘Adventure/’, link them up, and it’ll let you navigate between them. To make it easier, pages that don’t exist will give you a link so you can write them. To jump to a page, simply add ‘p=PAGENAME’ (without the ‘Adventure/’ bit) to the URL. It’s case-sensitive.
Um, not really sure where to go from here. Making ”’ become <b> and ” become <i> would be good. Then maybe some kind of inventory…? I really have no idea. 
EDIT: The best bit about this is that other people are already writing the actual game pages for me!

I’ve had a great time with this entry already. I forgot how fun it can be to collaboratively build content especially when there is such a low overhead to creating text based descriptions and paths.
The one problem is there doesn’t seem to be a page lock in effect so that clobbering of other entries has happened when there are two builders simultaneously creating. Oh well..
Cool idea and a lot of fun. I think I added about 5 or 6 pages worth but have to get going on some other things today…
Will check back later to see how the story is progressing.
