Make A Tiny Poetry Game with Tinderbox
Have you ever been tempted to make your poetry interactive? Come along to learn about game design and how it can intersect with poetry, with Tinderbox Collective. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have made your own tiny pixel-art game using Bitsy, a little engine for little games, worlds, and stories!
Attendees are asked to bring along a short poem or text that they’d like to turn into a game, as well as their own laptop if possible. There will be some computers available to share.
This workshop is open to any level of experience with games, including complete beginners.
