TextPath

• 

  ASCII art from a story.

Inspiration

TextPath aims to reignite interest in text-based choose-your-own-adventure games by providing a social aspect. Games like Wordle bring people together by providing a shared experience: each person can easily share their results. TextPath emulates this by allowing the user to share their outcome of the story with others.

What it does

Provides users with a weekly text-based story. Everyone plays the same story but may get different endings.

How we built it

We created a website using Javascript, HTML, and CSS. Levels are stored in intuitively designed JSON files.

Challenges we ran into

Deciding on a story. Making a story. Getting our website to function the way we wanted it to. Making the website look nice.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Creating a well-rounded and easily expandable game, story, and engine. Sticking with a cohesive ASCII artstyle.

What we learned

Text-based games are not dead!
