Title: BIP: Moving words.
Post by: Pæs on November 15, 2013, 11:48:07 AM
I'm experimenting with mashing some of our material together with various web libraries as an excuse to learn how to use them better.

This is my first pass at a slideshowesque thing using the impress.js library. Will get fancier next time around and am already thinking how it might be interestingly applied to a choose your own adventure game.

That's really cool.

One thing is that it's going a bit odd with character encoding

Cheers, am going through now and addressing those.

Next I'm going to experiment with scale and zooming in to see that the next sentence is written along the line of a letter in the previous one, or inside an O, then I'll start adding proper page elements into the mix.

I like it!

Will you be considering font options for a later version?

Yeah, definitely. I didn't add any styling for this one, except the odd white background to hide the background layers. Later versions will have a bunch of different things going on.

One of LMNO's "Who are we?" cut off early while I play with some other stuff.

The lines do an unfortunate fuzzy thing on that one.

Yeah, I think what I learned from that one is that I need to zoom right through previous slides instead of leaving them in the scene.

Yes. It is in fact superb. I look forward to the choose your own adventure (and, possibly, write your own adventure?) development. Have you seen the "draw with text" thing? Maybe variable-size text along possibly curvy lines would add to your thing? Maybe it wouldn't, I'm just wondering. It's pretty cool as is.
