we have learn about hypertext on second week of our new media class. unlike regular text book we read by pages, hypertext is about lexia follow by the path to another lexia. by clicking on the node will taking us to a destination. unlike the book is a linear path, hypertext is the story chosen by you own path, sometimes will result in different endings. I started of the story in a store and continue with our own adventure, if seen like a easy start, but making the story interesting required little more thinking. started with a single character expanded to 5, and during process of the story, those people are connect to each other in some point. few weeks into the story i have connect 3 characters.
making choice for node path to another lexia, i chose mostly nouns, character or objects. that will made the characters connect to another more easier, there is always a part got confuse, when connecting too many characters in the story things could get confusing, and tried it turned that around back to the path where suppose to be. sometimes making the story too broad is no a good idea, which i have tried. by i can’t make the story so narrow because it well be so boring.
planing the story, i made a short story first and trying to expand it bigger, and giving it more then one ending with different characters, once i have most of the detail in a paragraph, by giving possibility of intersection at varies sections and creating another characters, like i said before, sometime i went to far with third or fourth character, ever confuse myself. so i have always go back and read it from the beginning to make sure that each character have one path and are parallel with the other characters may at some point have intersection between them. since i started the hypertext i have been using story space but they are only limited for 12 lexia in one project, i guess i have to look for other program to finish the rest. when face the problem i, sometimes just take a few minute of break, tried to clear my head and go back, keep trying for couple more times to see of i can solved it. after that i will arrange a assistance from friend or professor in camps.
