Before joining this class I had never heard of interactive fiction. After the first day we started talking about it in class I decided to google it and find out what it was about and the point behind it, because I was truly confused in class. I first found the definition and it said that it is a computer-mediated narrative, resembling a very finely grained \u201cchoose your own adventure\u201d story. So you basically read a few lines and type instructions to the computer to find the plot. I thought to myself ok and what\u2019s the point???<\/p>\n
As I was finding information on Interactive fiction I came across this fun little tidbit, that a computer programmer that was going through a divorce, and was searching for a way to connect with his kids created it in the early 70s.<\/p>\n
The first interactive fiction that I did alone was the Lost Pig. I tried doing myself at first without reading the instructions and that did not work out so well. I really was not moving along very well, and was getting frustrated by the minute. I decided that I needed help so I went to the link and read the instructions. I attempted it again and used the prompts that were given. I unfortunately did not find the pig because I was getting frustrated with the fact that when I made a mistake typing I could not delete the mistake and continue typing, and I was also annoyed with Grunk talking in the third person. I will try it again tomorrow when I have more patience.<\/p>\n
As far as interactive fiction is concerned I prefer the CYOA books. I guess it\u2019s as easy as turning the page. I am really not computer savvy I only know basics.\u00a0<\/p>\n
