This interactive story is an creative way of displaying the adventures of math and poetry. I enjoyed the personalities that you gave each of them, which meshed with each other like Peanut butter and jelly. Very cool idea, Timmy.
OMG I bet I sound way too excited right now but THAT WAS SO COOL! I loved your storyline - the first time I went through it I had the math dude (or girl) let go and let poetry do all the driving. I also took the different paths though, and I liked how they both converge to the same idea - agree to disagree!
Also I like how you made it in a domain where non-people will notice it and play the game - I saw u got a bunch of comments on chooseyourpoetry.com, so kudos (is this even the right spelling) to u!
This is pretty cool, man! Really creative. A lot of people have framed this question in terms of a conversation between math and poetry, and I like how you did something similar and yet different with it.
I like how even-handed you are with each side- both tend to be open to the other's ideas. The explanations they give are also not too heavy-handed for why they are willing to give in to the other's suggestions, like math's Pythagorean theorem example. I especially liked when poetry mentioned about how it wanted to look at the statues multiple times, as it subtly gets at how people are always re-examining poetry to get new meaning. Great job.
I agree with Jackson -- in my group, Lyle wrote the response to this prompt, and he wrote a dialogue that was also even-handed, and it ended in them becoming besties. This was a really cool way to deliver your story, and I appreciate the arguments and agreements that took place. There are definitely some fundamental differences between poetry and math that you can pick up on in the game, but also a lot of smaller unities they find with each other. Really cool project!
Great idea! This is very fun. (And cool that your choose-your-own story got some props in the comments from people out on the interwebz, as did the premise.)
Holy crap this was really nice. It's been a while since I've read a 2nd person choose your own adventure sort of thing, and I really liked the combination of coding and the poetry problem.

ReplyDeleteThis is really cool! I like how interactive it is, but how it doesn't distract from the story you're trying to tell.
