Project Update (pt 2)

A link to my progress is here: https://jramos70.github.io/final_project/intro

What I have done so far is starting to create the html files for the text game. In it I have written different scenarios that tell the story. I also experimented with adding interactivity to it. For example, one scenario has 3 different choices and only 1 lead to the next scenario (the other 2 lead to a game over screen). I used javascript to randomly choose which one is successful, so it will be different each time. I also added a scenario where you are in a space battle with another ship and you need to fire your "weapons" (in this case, clicking a button") at the other ship to progress to the next round.

I think my progress is a good example of what the game will look like. My next steps will be to add a lot more scenarios to the game and add some css for visual aesthetics. However, I do not want the game to look too polished, because I really want to make it feel more personal and hand-crafted, like the hand-written web article we read in class. Additionally, I played around with making random text from a dataset, but I didn't really like the results, so I decided to write the story myself.
