Hello all,
gmninkle is a script that splits up an inklewriter JSON file into a collection of linked Gemini documents.
When the script is done running, each document represents one stitch in the story:
gemini://futagoza.gamiri.com/gmninkle
It was tested with nodejs 14 against a handful of inklewriter JSON files, it probably has undiscovered bugs. It should probably be rewritten in python. Here are two stories generated today with no apparent error:
The Monkey's Paw by Scott Thompson:
gemini://futagoza.gamiri.com/gmninkle/bqfx/i.gmi
Case of the Christmas Burglary by Perils of Dawn
gemini://futagoza.gamiri.com/gmninkle/5988/your_soft_little_ch.gmi
The idea came from stumbling across last year's GemIF-related conversation in the list archive:
https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/archives/gemini/2020/003743.html
So credit to Norm MacLennan and Nick Thomas for the relatively more advanced thinking along the lines of interactive stories via Gemini.
