Because of the timing of preparing for and then doing my dissertation defense in early July, I missed the deadline to submit to ICIDS this year. However, the work I was doing on parsing early Twine 1 works is now part of the Twine Specs (github.com/iftechfoundati…)

A new storylet library for SugarCube using Twee/Twine is now out!
Over on the IntFiction forums, MouseQBN was just announced (intfiction.org/t/mouseqbn-a-c…).
Some improvements on TinyQBN with different comparison expression formatting. Love seeing new work on this problem space!

Today's YouTube video is Twine 2.6: SugarCube 2.36: Creating and Accessing Variables Using Macros (youtube.com/watch?v=ND87Cj…).
I've had to re-arrange some SugarCube topics to better explain HTML and JavaScript concepts, so there will be double and triple patron videos next week.

Been away for most of the day, but today's YouTube video was/is Twine 2.6: SugarCube 2.36: Example: Expressing Exposition through Text Styling (youtube.com/watch?v=Ob_z8j…)
I'm behind in posting new SugarCube content, but YouTube won't notice, as videos are pre-scheduled days ahead.

At some point in the next couple of weeks, my hope is to put out what I'm calling _Introduction to Twine: Volume 1: Harlowe 3.3_, which covers all YouTube videos and written material for July 2023.
Current, unedited draft is ~27,000 words and about 155 pages.

Today's YouTube video is Twine 2.6: SugarCube 2.36: Applying Text Styles (youtube.com/watch?v=XQY2C4…)
While YouTube is multiple videos behind my current posting, I have now hit 34 videos in this series. By the end of August 2023, it will probably be 50 or more.

Today's YouTube video is Twine 2.6: SugarCube 2.36: Links and Passages (youtube.com/watch?v=l_BFIm…)
These early, shorter videos continue to build toward more complex patterns when using SugarCube in later videos. (I should, I hope, finish SugarCube videos this week for patrons!)

Today's work on trying to do research into what different versions of Twine 1 (and compatible tools) could produce or understand is the best argument why this work is needed! Lots of "These versions did X" and "This tool did Y" edge cases for years without a standard or docs.

Today's video is Twine 2.6: SugarCube 2.36: Introduction to SugarCube (youtube.com/watch?v=ZxcN-B…)
SugarCube is complex so there will be a handful of these shorter videos to help build across concepts into longer ones as the sub-series moves into coming weeks.

Today's YouTube video is Twine 2.6: SugarCube 2.36: Switching Default Story Format to SugarCube (youtube.com/watch?v=41kf5b…)
There is much to cover about SugarCube, so there are a handful of these shorter videos coming before I move into more advanced patterns.

Today's video is the end of the planned Harlowe content with SugarCube videos (finally) appearing later this week.
I was asked to add a video on debugging stories in Harlowe, so that will appear next week when I next batch-record this coming weekend.

Today's YouTube video is Twine 2.6: Harlowe 3.3: Introducing Storylets (youtube.com/watch?v=ulLEcd…). Storylets are a different way of thinking about passages. Rather than using links, passages are "open" (available) based on certain conditions. We use lambdas to test for openness.

It is humbling to remember, even as I read an average of 275 books a year for over a decade now, that 100+ books come out every month in just one category of things I tend to read, queer books.

🌈 What's COMING OUT (pun intended) in August? Which books are you excited for? Which books are you adding to your TBR? Note: Some dates may have changed. We haven’t read all of these books, so please check reviews for more details on queer identities represented!

Today's YouTube video is Twine 2.6: Harlowe 3.3: Using Lambdas (youtube.com/watch?v=nK-aZk…)
In Harlowe, lambdas allow for searching through or acting on every entry in an array. This allows for "removing from" a datamap, as a new one can be created where all names are not a value.

Today's YouTube video is Twine 2.6: Harlowe 3.3: Example: Managing Inventory with Data Structures (youtube.com/watch?v=HhGEZ8…).
In the video, I show how "managing inventory" can be approached in four different ways (four variables, array, dataset, and datamap) in Harlowe.

I like many of the members of the various committees in the IFTF, but things like this just remind me while I won't be re-joining any related groups or work for them in the near-future.
Dr. Dan Cox@Videlais
Reminder: I make very little on Twine videos. Despite posting 20 new videos in July, I will make an estimated $18.98. (YouTube's pay-out threshold is $100, so I'll actually get paid in 2-4 months.) Even with Patreon, which is another $15, I will only make around $34 for July.
