TWIFcomp

The TWIFcomp gooseTWIFcomp is a competition for tweet-sized interactive fiction. Why? Because the world needs more strangely-themed interactive fiction competitions and this one requires little time to write, play, and judge. The idea grew out of a thread on usenet, and seems like just the thing to take IF into the attention span-challenged future. The basic premise: write a complete game in 140 characters. Here’s an example: 43.

Congratulations to TWIFcomp winners:

  1. Aaron Reed, “> by @”
  2. Adam Thornton, “Mentula Macanus: Apocolocyntosis”
  3. Andrew Plotkin, “You See Chaos Here.”
  4. Evgeny  Bychkov, “SHOOT YOUR EVIL TWIN…”

As soon as they send me their addresses, I will mail out their fabulous prizes.

Scores are posted on the TWIFcomp website, and a summary spreadsheet can be downloaded.

A compressed file containing all materials from TWIFcomp (including TWIFplus games) can also be downloaded.

Thanks to everyone who participated and supported TWIFcomp — now, you better start work on your IntroComp 2010 games!
