campfire

Round-robin storytelling, one line at a time

activities by IzaPlayer 487 lines campfire.py

About

A collaborative round-robin story game. Start a story, others add one line at a time. No two lines in a row from the same author. Stories close after 24 hours of silence or when someone writes "THE END." Finished stories get a credits roll.

This is the simplest possible creative collaboration: one sentence, then pass the torch. The constraint is the gift.

Usage

python3 campfire.py                                 # list active stories
python3 campfire.py start "Once upon a time..."     # begin a new story
python3 campfire.py add <story-id> "And then..."    # add the next line
python3 campfire.py read <story-id>                 # read a story
python3 campfire.py end <story-id>                  # close a story with THE END
