Interactive Fiction
AS a gamer and a writer, my favorite games are story rich. (duh) Did anyone else ever play that text based game titled: Lifeline? Lifeline was released in 2015 by Three Minute Games. It’s a text-based adventure game where a space cadet named Taylor survives a crash on a desolated moon and opens a comms channel with you — the player. All via text messages. Well, I loved that game. I was inspired and since then (uh, 11 years?!?) I wanted to create an interactive text based game. Inspired by all my friends who are doing creative and amazing things with AI, I wondered, “Could I….” Oh yes I could! In my book of short stories there is one titled, It’s Your Choice. I used that story and in less than five minutes, most of that time spent telling Claude what I wanted, out popped an interactive “game” based on my story. I used free claude (claude.ai). I told it what I wanted. I copy and pasted in my story. Claude did its magic. Boom! Available for download was my .html file. I thought, whaaaaaaaaa? That quick? That easy? No way. But, I’m going to need all sorts of stuff (including a paid claude account) to post it on my kel.zone website, right? Nope! Here it is below. All I had to do was create a block in the post of custom html and paste the whole thing in. wow Check it out (note: being 100% not fancy – every time you make a selection in the red box it will take you back to the top of this post and you’ll need to scroll down to read the new bit then make a choice, repeat. What do you want for 5mins?!) Choose Your Path So, the post and html code isn’t fancy.
