+wildchld97 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Ok..I admit, I just stepped off the short bus on this topic. No laughs or I'll find you and muggle your cache. LOL No, really, don't laugh. I'm serious. I just heard of this thing that's new to me and I just wanna know what's up. From what I've read so far..you need a PSP.? Why do I hear the echos of younger people laughing hysterically all over the world? Help? Quote Link to comment
+webscouter. Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Wherigo is a way to create a cartridge that can be played on multiple platforms. I play mine on a Garmin Colorado but they can also be played on a pocket PC. The cartridges I have seen have been of the tour type. You started at one point and it would give you information about the point. It would then lead you to the next point, etc. You can also have interactions at each point. For instance you could ask a question and send the player in different directions dependent on the answer they gave. You can go to Wherigo.com and download a cartridge and the Wherigo builder. The builder will let you play a cartridge in an emulator and see how the game can be played. Quote Link to comment

I just finished my first one (not counting the tutorial), and I see lots of potential! Quote Link to comment
Arasmuz Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 You can also have interactions at each point.

Does that mean you could build something like those old "choose your own path" adventure game books? Quote Link to comment
Ranger Fox Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) Does that mean you could build something like those old "choose your own path" adventure game books? Yes, it means we can have a cave adventure all over again. "You are likely to be eaten by a grue." You know you want to. You can create a cartridge through the Builder, hand-code one for something more complex, or even do a combination of both. Some of the limits at the moment are a lack of dynamic image creation and displaying animated video of something. Let your imagination guide you and the forums answer questions when you're stumped. There are now quite a few people in the forum helping with tech support. One of us will definitely answer. Edited September 23, 2008 by Ranger Fox Quote Link to comment
