I make games and you can find them at <a href=\"http:\/\/runhello.com\">runhello.com<\/a>. I\u2019m going to be doing Ludum Dare this time for the sixth time. This time I am doing a collaboration with <a href=\"http:\/\/aliendovecote.com\/\">Porpentine<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I made a tool this week! Porp and I do not know what we are going to make this weekend but it\u2019s somehow going to use this tool. It\u2019s called \u201cSpool\u201d and the basic idea is \u201cIt\u2019s a Twine networking library?!\u201d. It\u2019s eventually going to be some Twine macros for doing AJAX and a little Tornado web server with some useful web services to AJAX to. Maybe it\u2019s not obvious why that is a thing you would want, but we are going to make something incredibly awesome with it this weekend and then you will see why you want it! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>Under the \u201cyou can use tools\/library code you wrote before the jam, as long as you open source it\u201d rule, here is the code for proto-Spool:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bitbucket.org\/runhello\/spool\">https:\/\/bitbucket.org\/runhello\/spool<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The server that\u2019s there now is based on the server for my Ludum Dare 24 game, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-24\/?action=preview&amp;uid=4987\">The World Hates You<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/l.j-factor.com\/\">L Arnott<\/a> helped a ton with doing the macro part that\u2019s there now.<\/p>\n<p>This is going to be the first time I do a web game for Ludum Dare, or really at all (I\u2019ve only made <a href=\"http:\/\/vote.runhello.com\/j\/twine\/blob\">one Twine game before<\/a> really) so I am at once excited and incredibly terrified! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>","time":"April 26th, 2013 12:53 am","title":"Announcing: Spool.
