Week Thirteen: Hypertext Game Project Complete

This week's guest faculty is Dr. Doug Chismar, Chair of the Liberal Arts Program and a philosopher specializing in the area of ethics and empathy.  He will be reading your projects this week and asking some questions about how what you are doing is operating in the creation of imaginary worlds and experiences that help create a sense of relationships to others.  

You should continue your work preparing the final version of your project which is due this coming Friday at midnight.  If you submitted a preliminary version of your project for this week please make sure when you submit your final version that you use the exact same file name.  I have modified the submission instructions a little.  The instructions on this blog have been updated to suggest submitting the project through Google Drive.  Google Docs worked well for the mid-term submission because it was submitted as a pdf.  Google Docs does html docs, sort of.  I was able to download a couple of your projects through Google Docs, and I was able to download all the projects submitted.  Using Google Drive was better and some of you figured that out on your own.  If you can't access Google Drive, you can try emailing the files to me as an attachment.  That worked as well and is viable as long as your files aren't too large.

The assignment for this week is just to keep working on your project, but before coming to class, I would like you to read at least some of the projects in progress that were submitted this week.  All the projects I received are linked to the Portfolio Page.  If you submitted a project in html form and it doesn't appear on the Portfolio Page, please let me know as soon as possible.  Reading some of the projects can be very helpful to you in finishing your own.

Here is a link to the Portfolio Page.
