Castle, Forest, Island, Sea

This interactive story, called "Castle, Forest, Island, Sea", is by Hide&Seek and was created for "The Open University". It is based on various fields of philosophy. As you read through the story, coloured text will appear. You click on this text to advance in the story. Green means that a certain point will be expanded upon, but you will not progress in the story. Gold text is your speech and you can click on it until it shows your desired response. Blue text progresses in the story, so be sure you are ready before you click it. There are time when there will be two or more areas with blue text; you must decide which you agree with more. You do not always get a second chance, so choose wisely. This game has 9 chapters, which took me about 2 hours to complete, though I did move through rather slowly. At the end, you get an evaluation of your point of view and have the option to read about philosophers that had similar points of views to your own. This game is still interesting to play, even if you are not all that in to philosophy. Click here to play the game.

What will you draw?

 

 

Sketch Swap

Sometimes all it takes to brighten someone's day is a simple smile. Or a quick sketch. If your day needs a bit of fun, try out Sketch Swap. You draw your own picture first and then you get to see, step by step, a drawing that someone else made. This works best with a tablet, but a mouse is fine if you haven't got one. Some drawings are very simple, while others are unbelievably detailed. You can draw anything you want, even if it's just a happy face. Enjoy yourself, knowing that you are bringing enjoyment to others.
