This application is a digital version of an old creative writing game. In the game, a group of people collaboratively write a story, taking turns to each write a page. In this app, a user may write a single page of a story, and then allow another use to write the next one, and so on. When viewing a story, you can read all of the previous pages and see who wrote each one. At the end, everyone can see who worked together on the story.
To install this application, please download a copy at:
https://github.com/HuebnerMedieval/story-pass
Once installed, run bundle install.
Run rake db:migrate
Currently the application only runs locally on localhost.
Navigate to the backend with cd story-pass-backend and run rails s to start up the server.
Open the file index.html in your browser to use the application.
You will see instructions at the top of the page and a list of existing stories. You can return to this list at any time by clicking the "Story List" link at the top of the page.
To read or add to an existing story, click on the story name. At the bottom of the page after the existing stories, there is a form to record your username and the content you would like to add. After hitting "submit", you page will appear and you will be prompted to leave the page to let another use add the next page.
If you would like to create a new story, click the link at the top for "Start a Story". This will take you to a form to write the story's title, then you will have the chance to write the first page.
This is not for professional stories, and whatever you write is permanent. Pages and books cannot be changed or removed, to keep them consistent and open to all users.
