Show HN: A 'Choose Your Own Adventure' written in Emacs Org Mode
Show HN: A 'Choose Your Own Adventure' written in Emacs Org Mode I authored and developed an interactive children's book about entrepreneurship and money management. The journey started with Twinery, the open-source tool for making interactive fiction, discovered right here on HN. The tool kindled memories of reading CYOA style books when I was a kid, and I thought the format would be awesome for writing a story my kids could follow along, incorporating play money to learn about transactions as they occurred in the story.<p>Twinery is a fantastic tool, and I used it to layout the story map. I really wanted to write the content of the story in Emacs and Org Mode however. Thankfully, Twinery provided the ability to write custom Story Formats that defined how a story was exported. I wrote a Story Format called Twiorg that would export the Twinery file to an Org file and then a Org export backend (ox-twee) to do the reverse. With these tools, I could go back and forth between Emacs and Twinery for authoring the story.<p>The project snowballed and I ended up with the book in digital and physical book formats. The Web Book is created using another Org export backend.<p>Ten Dollar Adventure: <a href="https://tendollaradventure.com" rel="nofollow">https://tendollaradventure.com</a><p>Sample the Web Book (one complete storyline/adventure): <a href="https://tendollaradventure.com/sample/" rel="nofollow">https://tendollaradventure.com/sample/</a><p>I couldn't muster the effort to write a special org export backend for the physical books unfortunately and used a commercial editor to format these.<p>Twiorg: <a href="https://github.com/danishec/twiorg">https://github.com/danishec/twiorg</a><p>ox-twee: <a href="https://github.com/danishec/ox-twee">https://github.com/danishec/ox-twee</a><p>Previous HN post on writing the transaction logic using an LLM in Emacs: <a href="https://blog.tendollaradventure.com/automating-story-logic-with-llms/" rel="nofollow">https://blog.tendollaradventure.com/automating-story-logic-w...</a><p>Twinery 2: <<a href="https://twinery.org/" rel="nofollow">https://twinery.org/</a>> and discussion on HN: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32788965">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32788965</a>
