Hey! This is a quick template for how to make your Plinkquito documentation pieces.

Write your piece out in markdown in a github gist. This gist is written to act as a template to get you familiar with Markdown. You can Fork it into your own github account using the fork button in the upper right of the page and then edit it from there to play around with how things look.

When you're ready, create your own gist for your Plinkquito piece. When you're done, save your gist and click the "raw" button in the upper right of the document.

This should take you to an ugly looking page, and ugly is good. Paste the link to that page in the "link" column of this spreadsheet along with all the other metadata about your piece.

Let me know if you have any questions, and here are some markdown basics to get you started!

Inputs & Outputs

These are some sketches to demonstrate how inputs — whether physical or digital — can be used in different ways to affect outputs. Each sketch expects an input between 0 and 1 and then uses that input to affect the display of a website. To start, we'll write a function to generate the input digitally. Next time, we'll use Arduinos and some related sensors to generate inputs from the real (e.g. physical) world.

Some interesting games

kunabi brother's Blek

Being asked to describe Blek my brother rattled off: It's an open-ended experience with singular game mechanics and deep, bauhaus-informed design. Huh! Just imagine working with a guy who can say something like that about a game. Yes, it can be complicated. But Blek isn't.

Digital art & art-making

While the question of what art is and what technology can offer the conceptualization and implementation of art will hopefully be topics of ongoing reflection and conversation—both in this program and in our lives—we wanted to share a few examples of of pieces of work which have both compelled us and taken unique advantage of some of the affordances that technology offers us.

We hope these will be evocativefor you as you consider projects you might want to tackle yourself, or perhaps simply the character of the experiences you want your projects to support.
