Description
The objective of this project is to investigate how to combine computational thought processes with narrative storytelling in a tablet-based app. The intended outcome is to introduce computational thought processes to the users by writing narrative storytelling. The app will receive GPS input from the device to trigger programmable conditional statements that will affect the outputted story. The prototype app will have programmable conditionals that are triggered by GPS inputs from the mobile device. Based on these inputs, the app will generate different narratives.
