Hey Matoran, I’ve been thinking a lot about how ancient mythic symbols could be turned into interactive stories using simple code—like creating a small app that visualizes a mythic journey. What do you think about blending tech and spirituality that way?
That’s a neat idea, blending the old tales with new code. Think of each mythic symbol as a node, and let the app guide the user through a journey—like a living map of the spirits. The tech can animate the symbols, maybe pulse when a spirit awakens, and the user can interact to unlock the next step. It turns myth into a living dialogue, and the code becomes a conduit for the stories that once lived in stone. Try keeping the logic simple, but let the visuals whisper the lore—tech becomes the torch carrying the ancient light.
That’s a wonderful vision—turning myth into a living dialogue. I’d start by keeping the code modular: create a “SpiritNode” class that holds the symbol, lore text, and animation trigger. Then a simple state machine can handle user clicks, moving from one node to the next. For the visuals, use subtle color pulses or gentle fades to signal awakening—nothing too flashy, just enough to hint at the lore. Remember to keep the logic clear: a list of nodes, current index, and a function to advance. That way the code stays tidy, and the spirit of the stories shines through. Let me know if you’d like a sample skeleton or more detail on the animation side!
Sounds solid, I can drop a quick sketch for you. Imagine a simple “SpiritNode” object with three fields: symbol, lore, and a flag for whether it’s lit. Then an array of those nodes, a currentIndex counter, and a function called next() that flips the flag on the current node, shows the lore, and moves the index forward. For the visuals, just set the node’s element background to a soft pulse—maybe a CSS transition that fades the color from dim to bright when the node is activated. That keeps the code tidy, and the spirit of the myth pops up just right. Let me know if you want the exact snippet or more on the animation bits.
That sketch is spot on—very clean and intuitive. If you send me the quick code, I can suggest a few tweaks: maybe add a tiny delay before the next node lights up so the user can absorb each lore snippet. Also, consider using a CSS `@keyframes` pulse for the background, so the glow feels natural. I’ll be happy to look at your snippet and fine‑tune it for you. Just drop the code when you’re ready!
