Pressure Project 3

One thing I remember is being able to skip ahead a lot and would avoid pages if I saw them while turning through, so I wanted to make something like that but where you couldn’t cheat. I thought that QR codes would be an interesting idea to tell this story, so I wrote out a whole choose your own adventure centered around a murder mystery. From each segment that went on each page, it ended up being a unique QR code that the user can scan to read that section of the story. I pasted the corresponding QR codes to their respective pages on a book that I had. To generate the Qr codes, I just pasted text into (@Laura) this website which generated the corresponding png.
Watching the class interact with my project was so much fun because everyone was very divided on which path to take and it ultimately lead to a democratic vote to which path to take. I think it really helped that the narrator was Alex for this story, his narration really gave life to my adventure. I just wish that my speaker was working; I wanted to have some background music for ambiance.
If you’d like to go through the story in segments, use the attached zip file to read the story using the QR codes. If you’d like to just read it straight up, use the script.md file attached.
