Meeting 16
MC: Miguel
Tomorrow: Angelique
When you finish your game
You can export your finished game as an "HTML5 game" — Construct will create a zipped file with all of your files/folders, and you can upload the zipped file here. Then, I'll put the game on my server and link it to your website.
OR, you can upload it yourself to the Construct Arcade. You'll need to make a personal account with Construct, and you'll export a special type of zipped file required by their system. In this case, just send my the URL of the live game, and I'll link it to your website.
LVL1 Graduation
LVL2 — lead the ceremony!
Discussion: what is the plan for the remaining weeks?
Things you might wish to consider:
- Small team collaboration projects
- Game design challenges (which can include solo designers)
- Projects for specializing skills (artists, composers, programmers, etc.)
- Options for peers who are still working on game #1, but find some extra time in the coming weeks
You will have a team discussion, and then ideas can be added to a new Jamboard.
We'll review these ideas tomorrow.
Twine
Some Twine story examples:

What to type in passages
Always give a passage a title. Keep it short.
You can type text into a passage, and you can also include HTML!
| <h1> </h1> | This creates the biggest header text |
| <h2> </h2> | This creates header text, but a bit smaller |
| <strong> </strong> | This will boldface text |
| <em> </em> | This will create italics |
To make a link to a new passage
Use: [[ ]]
Format: [[ desired text -> next passage title ]]
(Or: [[ desired text | next passage title ]] — same thing)
Adding images – hotlinking
You can copy the full URL (web address) of an image file on the web, and use it in your Twine passage.
Here is starter code to copy'n'paste:
<img src="">
<img src="paste the full URL here">
For example: if I search for Mario and find a picture in Google Images, I can view it and then right-click and Copy image address
This is the data on my clipboard after copying:
https://pngimg.com/uploads/mario/mario_PNG71.png
The I can write the HTML tag and paste in the url.
<img src="https://pngimg.com/uploads/mario/mario_PNG71.png">
Clubs!
Let's have clubs meet (maybe) twice per week.
Clubs are for sharing, research, questions, and of course for socializing.
