Reading assignment due 12/8 & 12/9: How ‘Trustless’ Is Bitcoin, Really?


Write a 1-3 paragraph reflection and add this reflection to your “readings.html” page.


2 Part Interactive Story (completed by 12/16 for all labs):

A. Planning/Mapping due Thursday Labs 12/9 and Friday Labs 12/10
B. HTML-based functioning Interactive Story due 12/16 for all labs

Create a web-based non-linear story. For this assignment, you can use photography,
illustration, montage, and/or simple text to create a narrative with multiple story paths
which can be navigated using hyperlinks. 80% of the imagery and all of the text used
must be your own original content.

1. Map out your narrative, using illustrator or simply a pencil and paper.

2. Develop the imagery/text for each page.

3. You may create a new Glitch project for this assignment or create a series of new html pages dedicated to this project.

4. Make sure your homepage – index.html links to the interactive story and that all story links work as you expect.

There must be at least three possible endings There must be multiple ways to get to
each one.

Tip: If you are having trouble coming up with a story, you could make it location
specific... Define one or more locations in NYC that you find interesting. Document the
location(s) with several photographs. Write a brief story in relation to the location(s) and
give it alternate paths. The story may document something that happened at the
location or something more fantastic. Give your user choices to move through the
location(s), perhaps something different happens in the story or to your user based on
the choices.

For the Interactive Narrative assignment, you can create link hotspots on images
following these instructions:
