fabulation

fabulation is a simple tool to narrate a story in a non-linear fashion. In other words it can be used to create very simple text adventures. You can write a set of 'scenes' and jump from scene to scene using links. Each scene can be decorated with audio or pictures.

Fabulation generates a html-file that you can access via browser and publish on the internet.

Requirements:

To run fabulation a python3 installation is required. fabulation additionally requires

• Mistune as its Markdown implementation (mistune v3 is now required),
• Jinja2 as a template engine and
• PyYAML to read and write configuration files.

The extra python packages can be installed for instance with pip

pip install mistune jinja2 pyyaml

Howto:

See example.yml for an example on how to write a fabulation input file. The result is

example.html

To generate an output (example.html) from an input (example.yml) file all

python fabulation.py example.yml example.html

The output.html uses jQuery and HowlerJS for sounds.
