Hi Mans, I have recently been poking around the Twee/TWine group out of inerest and I see an astonishing amount of activity and creativity there.
Just so we're clear, from a technological pov there seems literally nothing tiddly* about twinery, except for the fact that there are chunks called * Passages* that can have something that looks like a *[[TiddlyLink]]*. So, while such a "view on tiddlers" may be desireable, it is quite difficult to achieve in Tiddlywik classic (while not impossible) but probably simpler done in TW5 (yet, perhaps that not true either). In any case, both the representation in this connected web kinda thing, let alone the generation of a Twine story is complex stuff. Personally, I would say it would have been more practical if Twine had actually been built on TiddlyWiki rather than around its concepts... but that's just not up for discussion right now, unless someone does a tech talk of the core concepts on Twine and then a bit of a brain storming on how to get this unfolding of stories with all the macro-magic working in a classic TiddlyWiki, yet the minimalistic twine-style, perhaps with a paramifier option to open the thing in editor mode. Right now, all that seems far out there. It may be possible if the framework on which Twinery builts were a properly encapsulated, flexible js libary that can be included in a TiddlyWiki and then customized. For example, there could be a simple switch in the paramifiers, e.g. *http://mystory.com#!.start* See that bang-dot? Something like this may indicate to TiddlyWiki that there is a story to be run rather than a "start" tiddler to be opened in classic ViewMode. If you had a defined "storyTheme" running in fullscreen mode, you could get there. But I guess your focus is on something like a StoryWebPlugin that allows Twine style navigation and editing. Not sure, but isn't that even possible with PasteUpPlugin? Ok, what would be missing are... * snap to grid * show connections I guess all that needs an actual HTML5 canvas element being drawn to, something I don't think people have experimented much in TiddlyWiki yet, except for visualisation, e.g. using Raphael.js... but not with a lot of "interactivity". By the way, I don't think one really needs to see the tiddler's as cards. What's important are the titles and the connections. Perhaps a "click to unfold" or "hover to preview", etc... were better. Best wishes, Tobias. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
