 This week for the story lab, I looked at the "Twine Story Software." I thought that this was a very creative method for storytelling. When I tried to make my own game, I noticed that it is a lot more complicated that it actually looks. It was easy to set up the variables that I was manipulating in my game. For example, I made a game that was similar to the example "Pick a number," but instead I called it "Pick a color" and changed the variable from number to color. However, after changing my variables, it took me some time to understand how to connect all the passages on my story together. Even though it took me longer than expected, I was able to brainstorm and link all the passages in the story together. I like the twine software because it was very creative and interactive. I think in future projects; I would be willing to use the twine software.

    I am so glad you played with the variables, Rachana! I've just used Twine in the simple branching way... but I've seen some beautiful projects people do using the variables. If you are using variables already, that makes you a Twine pro! Fabulous! If you saw the announcements with Anhthu's game, you can also embed a Twine game right in a post as a story. If you run into any snags with that, just let me know. I remember it took me a few tries to figure out how to make that work, but now I can just grab anybody's Twine game at OUCreate and put it in the announcements. :-)

Introduction of a Future Psychologist

Image
Hi everyone! My Name is Rachana Rajala. I was born in Saskatoon, Canada; however, both of my parents are from India, particularly from a region known as Andhra Pradesh. I moved to the United States when I was two years and have been in Oklahoma since then. I am a currently a Senior at the University of Oklahoma. I am a psychology major and I am hoping to be a clinical psychologist who specializes in developmental and behavioral psychology. I think that the best class that I took last semester was a cognitive psychology course because it was really interesting and actually had to do something with my major. My biggest accomplishment was probably giving a five minute speech in one of my classes last semester. Since I was a kid,  I have had terrible social anxiety and have hated public speaking. However, last semester I was able to compose myself and be able to give a somewhat decent speech, so that would be my biggest accomplishment. Over the winter break I really didn't do any

Week Story 5: Sita's exile

                                                                    Image Details: Sita, Source: Wikimedia It was a foggy Friday morning. Lakshmana and I had to leave early in the morning so that the tabloids wouldn’t see us sneaking out of the house. He came into my room last night and told me that I had to leave with Lakshmana in the morning to go meet some constituents that could help him in the election. “Why me? Why not send Hanuman?” I looked at Rama intently. He never sent me anywhere by myself and especially after the rumors about the affair; we decided it would be better if I didn’t make any public appearances for some time. Rama ran his fingers through his hair, “I need Hanuman here, Sita. He needs to rally up the rest of our followers for the speech. Besides, the people adore you. Maybe not right now, but you need to show them that you are stronger than this.” He looked up at me and I could see tears in his eyes. I never saw him cry, even when his father told h
