I got nothing for you code-wise but if CKY2k isn’t on that list, I’m spending the rest of 2025 trying to cancel you.

I remember trying to create my own version of the Manhole on hypercard way back when. This was a delight. Reading about your collaboration was nearly tearjerking to this dad’s sentimentality. Beautiful.

I just absolutely loved this. There’s a ton of meat here. I look forward to reading more from you.

A hammer wielding moth is trapped in a glass web spun of light. Emancipation remains contingent on will. To liberate agency is to smash dreams. Desire takes us either to the cold dark or leaves us with the bright oblivion.

This is a meditation on the dialectics of self-sentience. Especially appreciated as I’m co-reading The Poetics of Space along with House of Leaves. The metaphor of the ebbs and flows of thoughts presented as breathing brings to mind the dialectic of the corner (the contradiction of interior/exterior) which Bachelard explores and re-interpereted by Danielewski (by my appraisal) as the ‘respiration’ of (what I call) the hyperinteriority of the Navidson residence. I am led to reflect on the ergodic nature of the visual poem you’ve created here and can’t help but note that there is no exit offered until the end of the ride. I assume this is done purposefully. Thank you for this labor.

I love the idea of an incremental game used as a means of developing a prose narrative. Makes me think of ways of trying to synch (best as one could) the length of time it would take to read a given passage and the length of time for a given incremental sequence to complete. I especially love the fact that you give music on/off control. You did a great job interpolating greensleeves through the janky sequencer; but all the same, it’s nice to be able to control audio. Great job all round.

Your meditation on the building-in-progress caused me to recall Baudrillard’s exploration of the Beaubourg in Simulations and Simulacra. Hadn’t thought about that in a while, thanks. Great job.

I’m just super appreciative of the work you put into helping me. I hope I can repay you or you vicariously through this community some day.

to get ahead of “why are you doing this in fields”, the answer is, “I’m trying to teach myself how to code AND how to code in Decker and it’s a ton of friction having to click back and forth between widgets and interact, into the card script etc. and theoretically, it shouldn’t matter provided I do this correctly."

I’ve got another, probably totally silly question,  (I promise I look through all the documentation, the problem is that I’m basically illiterate in basic coding). As you’ll see in this video (how do you folks get those cool embedded videos to happen without using youtube?) I’m running a card script which evals the field on the left (called cardscript; yes i know the text above the field has a space, trust me it’s labled without the space).  I’ve defined a (dunno what to call it) thing called “fields” which I want to use as a bucket to hold all of the fields i wish to make invisible at when I click “eval below”.  As you can see, when I just define the thing as ’source’ it works, but when I add a comma and include ‘cardscript’, not only does it fail to include cardscript, but now source remains visible.

Secondary issue: The !alert works, but does not retain the richtext formatting.

That did it. So it must’ve been that I was using text and not value

thank you

just throwing out a “this obvious question wasn’t so obvious to me and helped me greatly, thank you to the asker and, as always, to IG"

Ok forgive me, I didn’t follow your operation faithfully, I now see. Your method was to use a button to point at one field that itself pointed at another field (which contained the rt formatted text).  I was skipping the middle-person field and apparently, by doing that, it doesn’t render the rt formatting.  I’m leaving this post because it may come up in the future; perhaps IG (or someone else) could simply verify that this was indeed my problem and if anything maybe propose how I might’ve skipped the middle-person step and kept the RT formatting.

TLDR eval->dd.say isn’t passing rich-text into the dialogizer In your Dialogizer deck, on the rich-text card, you mention that it’s easier to style by throwing rich-text into a field and having it parse using the eval method. So I’ve got a field, i’ve got it set to invisible in the card script, I’ve got a button that does the eval method. Everything is working well except that it isn’t showing the styling I’ve set in the field.  I’ll mention, just as I typed this I tried to add a hyperlink in the same way (just manually add it to the field) and it also didn’t pass through the parsing operation.

Forgive me, I’m one of those dudes who got by in the 00s by just manually deleting html and css stuff and adding it back to “create my own myspace profile”. Like, that’s my level of coding know-how. I’m sure this question is voiced annoyingly; I’m trying to use words I’m not fluent with. Thank you for everything you do here IG.

I just want to comment on how legendary Internet Janitor is not just for this amazing thing they’ve created but for this discrete instance where someone asks about a limitation working with their native alphabet and IG comes back 16 days later having including that alphabet into the app. You are epic.
