Project 4: Interactive Text

Create a hypertext specifically written and designed to depend upon interactive possibilities: the actions and choices of the reader/user. In other words, the meaning and effect of the hypertext will vary as the reader consciously creates his/her way through the page or site.

One way this interactivity is created, for instance, is through hypertext linking (remember the diachronic/synchronic page):

• if the linear text is a road, and
• if the average hypertext is a pool of choices,
• the interactive text is a set of forking paths

What other kinds of interactivity does HTML provide us that we might use in this project?
