Second Annual MetaFilter Interactive Contest
4 May, 2010
Perhaps it’s fate that I’ve been on a coding jag to the exclusion of all meatspace hobbies since DrupalCon SF… I learned yesterday that MetaFilter is having a month-long Interactive Fiction “contest” in the tradition of the RPM Challenge or NaNoWrMo… the goal isn’t so much to winwinwin as it is to just see a project from start to finish.
I’ve been threatening to write something with Inform 7 since it was released four years ago, so I think it’s time to get off my duff and actually do it. My brain seems to be especially receptive to chewing on code right now. It’s been an astonishing five years since my only other attempt at interactive fiction with Inform 6, and that’s just not right. Hopefully the time constraint will be inspirational without causing me so much stress that I bail on the project altogether, as I did three years in a row with the RPM Challenge.
