Quarantine Life
Kefan Lyu
My inspiration was from the pandemic and the game we played in the class “the school year”.
Crowdsourcing: The character is buying stock and insurance.
Otter.ai: I recorded some arguments and news about quarantine strategy. Put these words in the start page as a short background .
Oblique Strategies cards: Some “drama” things happened and it was based of the real life. I got the ideas from news and meme trends. The character went to the restaurant with her/his friend, and was told that the should stay at the restaurant for 3 days because of there was a positive case detected.

Anagram Generator: I pasted a short sentence from a scientific magazine and deleted the space, made them into one word. Then I used the generator to form a new word, which became the name of the new virus in my story.
Paper
I'm so glad I took this course on the second week after semester started. Through this class, I learned a lot of topics that I previously thought were "not of interest" and broadened my creative thinking using various tools and software. Now that I have learned css and html, I can make a personal website, and also make interesting content such as games. This skill is very helpful and constructive for my future professional courses.
I really enjoyed this class, some of the coding are just "assistance" for me, the writing and narrative skills I have improved the most. Stories with different themes become especially interesting and dramatic with the help of generators.
