Tech Task: Getting Started with Twine

-

I've actually had some experience trying out twine when myself and my project team used it for our "Group Project" last semester, During that time I learnt how useful of a tool it can be for helping plan a game or storytelling project. I decided id follow the example giving on the main course page and made a simple pick a number game where you ask the player to decide on a number between 1 and 10, then you ask them if it was an odd number or even number. Depending on how they answered will determine if they win or lose. 

The starting position and 2 passages within the game.

I continued to mess around with this task as I wanted to add the ability to return back to the main question if the user answered wrong, after a while I released I could just direct the button in the text back to the previous passage/choice using [[try again->pick]] which was helpful for completing the game.

An introduction to... me?

Hi, my name is Gavin Dwyer, I'm a wannabe film/music director who has a passion for photography and web development. I currently live in Co. Meath with my family as I attend college in TU Dublin Blanchardstown. My hobbies include Scouts, rugby, golf, and photography. In my spare time, I tend to find myself watching movies/tv-shows or playing video games. I'm excited to start my 2nd year of college especially with everything going on in the world over the summer like Covid-19 and wildfires it been stressful but now that college is back I can continue with my drive for media studies and college as a whole. Over the break, I've spent most of my time playing games such as Team Fortress 2, Overwatch, Battlefront 2, Garry's Mod, and Among Us. TF2 and GMOD are by far my favourite games as I have over 5000+ hrs in both games. Both games released back in 2007 and still currently have over a few thousand active players. If I'm not playing a video game I most likely am watchin

What is a Game, Anyway? I've personally always wondered what actually makes the fundamentals of a game or the basic features to which something can be called "A Game", and not until I read an article called "What is a game any way?" did I truly understand. The article itself is quite interesting and while it did take me a while to finish, it did teach me quite a few things such as the fact that everyone has a different point of view on what a game really is, what classifies as a game, some people think of video games or board games first but the list is endless really.  While reading this article you can begin to understand that a lot of games have similar ideas that contrast each other or relate in either one or two ways. The most eye-opening point made in this article to myself was one made by Schreiber who talks about the relationship between "Play" and "Games" where technology is not even needed to help enjoy a game of fetch or "play

   Team Fortress 2  Full Team Fortress 2 Image Team Fortress 2 is personally one of my favorite current games and has been for quite some time now, It is a first-person multiplayer video game which was made by Valve back in 2007. It was one of the first of many classic team-based games that revolve around having multiple character classes (9 in total) which the player could choose from.  The game features many game modes such as King of the Hill, Capture the Flag, Payload, and many more. I've played this game for years and have grown up within the community of this amazing game, My two favorite classes are Medic & Soldier, both can be seen below.   Dr. Ludwig "The Medic" Mister Jane Doe "The Soldier"
