Run your own website-hosted Twine dev tool

- Posted in Coding by

You can run your own copy of the Twine development tool, either by hosting it on your website or by running it in XAMPP. For example, here it is running on my own website. And here is the 4 Mb download if you want a copy. I also have a copy here on my Onedrive.

Autoscroll webpage

- Posted in Coding by

Today, I changed the font face of blog posts to Lato, and the color from black to a dark gray (i.e., #494949). I'm using the clean theme with HTMLy. The style.css file is located in /themes/clean/

I'm wanting to learn coding skills so that I can create games that run in people's browsers and that may use some connectivity to a website. I'm not even really sure where to start, so I'm just reading some articles -- here's one; here's another.

I have a player in my mythweaver game that has some javascript background, so I'm gonna pick his brain. We'll see where it leads...

Also, the echoed output from my count_entries.php webpage is lengthy. I found a solution to make it auto-scroll to the bottom of the page after a one second delay.

I also found a javascript solution to scroll the above page to the bottom automatically, so that I see the summary data at the end of the page:

<script>
    function autoScrolling() {   
    window.scrollTo(0,document.body.scrollHeight); }         
    setInterval(autoScrolling, 1000);
</script>

Placing the above javascript inside the tags of a webpage will cause the page to scroll to the bottom one second after loading.
