Choose Your Own Adventure Contest

Seriously though, what is this?

As said in that informative interactive adventure (or Informatinteractventure), this is the hub page for the second contest of 2015: The Choose Your Own Adventure Contest!

Golly gee, that sounds like a darn hoot!

You're absolutely correct, reader analogue! With the code that I - your humble contest host, the devilishly handsome Randomini - have cooked up for you, making your own Choose Your Own Adventure Stories is a breeze!

But Jeepers, Mister Randomini, I'm not good at code! How can I do this on my own?

You aren't on your own, friend! I've put together a little tutorial into the source code of the page at Adventure. Just click "+Options", then "Page Source". Any time you see the word TUTORIAL in that code, stop and have a read. If you want other examples using the same code base, take a look at Cool War 3 or the source code of this page!

Boy oh boy, Mister Randomini, how do I enter?

It's super easy! Just follow these rules:

• Entries need to be Choose Your Own Adventure stories with at least one branching point. It's fine to have the branches join back up again, but one-path stories are not for this contest.
• Entries don't need to include pictures or audio at all; they can be 100% text if you want!
• Any entry which includes sound should also include a mute button. If you're editing the code based on Adventure, then you've already got one!
• You're allowed a maximum of two entries: one can be collaborative, while the other has to be 100% your own work. Collaboration teams can be as large as you like.
• Images and music files used should be as small a filesize as possible.
• While there are no restrictions on what code you can use, it's highly recommended that you modify the source code of the examples given in Adventure and Cool War 3. Another alternative is using the external program Twine, compile it to HTML, then use WikiDot's HTML tag to host it on the site.
• NO FLASHING IMAGES. Animation is fine.
• When you post, make sure to tag your page with at least three tags: "tale" (since it should be a tale), "adventure" (the new tag just for Choose Your Own Adventure Stories!), and "cyoa2015" (which is short for Choose Your Own Adventure Contest 2015).
• Make sure that your story has something to do with the SCP universe. It doesn't have to include the Foundation!
• Don't post until until XXXXXXXX!
• Any entries after XXXXXXXX will be too late to enter the contest!
