Where I was: I've been working on the final touches of the "Poetry Maze". (Hyperlinking the multiple paths, hyperlinking the videos as a congrats slide, inserting music).
Where I am now: I tried to email the project to Dr. Nelson, but it's not working. It's probably because it's a big powerpoint. I tried posting it onto this blog, and created a google site for presenting tomorrow. The last resort is to bring in my laptop to present.
Abstract: "Poetry Maze" Choose Door #1, Door #2, or Door #3 at each slide attempting to fill in the blanks of the poems. The object of the game is to complete each poem by opening the random doors. There are 3 poems total. As awards for completing each poem and solving the maze, there is only 1 path to a final slide containing 3 videos. Please exit the browsers after viewing each video to return to the project in order to receive the other awards.

Blog 22: Final Project Update
Where I was: I was stuck on how much content or scenarios to include in the poetry maze. I decided to use most but not all which is smart, safe, and still gets the point across for the reader/player. They'll still have many multiple options in a poetry maze. The object of the game is to finish the poems.
Where I am now: I finished creating the scenarios for each of my poems. Next, I'll create all the slides and randomly hyperlink them to eachother. I already have found youtube videos to hyperlink as well. I'll plug them in random slides.

Blog 21: Final Project Update
Where I was: After realizing I have too many multiple paths, I handwrote all the scenarios for different slides of my first poem. It counted over 100. As a trial and error exercise, this was crucial to decide if it was worth creating all these slides (considering I have 3 poems)
Where I am now: I've decided to create many multiple slides presenting each scenario of Door #1, Door #2, and Door #3 but just a few paths for the reader/player to find the poem endings. This works out for my project to still be a poetry maze and not as frustrating. I also thought that would be the perfect name as my project keeps transforming: Poetry Maze. So now, I'm in the process of completing the creation of all the multiple slides in the powerpoint. This is the time consuming part, but it'll be worth it for a cool interactive experience.

Blog 20: Final Project Update
Where I was: It's just been time consuming for a little while now. I have all the content and have been plugging in all the multiple paths.
Where I am now: I realized I have a ton of multiple paths. This poetry project is more like a maze which isn't a bad thing. It might be frustrating for readers/players, reminding me of 12 Blue. I'm basically still plugging in all the multiple paths for Door #1, #2, and #3 on each slide. I might end up with over 100 hundred slides. I planned on inserting the music last so I'll know how long it should be, but since I have never-ending multiple paths, I might just find a few songs to get started with in the meantime.
