Duckie McGee Moves Ahead by in Online Culture / April 13th, 2007
Last night I got the last little bits of the Duckie McGee engine working! It’s finally ready to accept silliness!
Here’s how it works: you go to the ‘feed the duck’ page and fill in all the fields with whatever you like. Do this step a few times if you can.
Next, you go to the synopsis page and see the results. The system takes all the things everyone’s input, randomizes them, and makes a story synopsis out of the parts. It probably makes very little logical sense, but that’s important.
Next, you take that synopsis and turn it into a story outline. I’ve got a nifty little page built that lets you click on various sentence fragments to edit them. This way, you can make your very own story out of a distributed set of craziness.
Finally, you can take that story and turn it into whatever you like. It’s easy, it’s fun, and it doesn’t cost anything. Except maybe your soul. I’ll get back to you on that.
This process is basically how professional screenwriters create scripts for TV, except I’ve 2.0′d it by using AJAX! Cha-ching!
Really, this is all just for fun. So have fun. And send me any cool things you dream up.
