wtf!? I don’t get it
Interesting visuals, but I couldn’t figure out what to do. Need some sort of feedback.
There’s only one thing you can do. Hmmm.
edit:
ooh ‘press x’ keeps on screen even after pressing for a particular name. Will fix that when I get home.[ fixed ]The only thing I got from this is that, the language reads from right to left.
I collected them all and nothing happened… just like in real Pokemon. :(
I was hoping God would show up. That’d be pretty sweet.
Very interesting, though unfortunately, if there is supposed to be some sort of message, it has very effectively eluded me.
First, I wanted something to happen after markin them all, but afte ~70, I realized, how much I enjoy just reading the inscriptions in the time before the square moves to the next Name.
I really enjoyed the subtle beauty and ingenious idea. Even as atheist.
Also, around 50 I thought: what would I make happen after marking them all? For example, the first names you marked could unmark before you finish them all, making the process indefinite.
Oh man, this is inspiring. I would love to take this idea further and explore this concept in my own faith.
Nice job :)
What sort of approach do you think you’d have in mind? (without knowing off-hand exactly the variety of what I assume is your Christianity, the main thing that comes to mind is the trinity).
As I have examined the source codes, the only thing that changes after X is the alpha of calligraphic sprites. And I couldn’t find any other script that changes or checks alpha variables, which could mean what we do in game doesn’t change anything at all.
Am I correct?
There’s nothing hidden in the code/dynamics. What’s there is there.
Sometimes, I think these should include disclaimers like:
“Warning! No closure to be found within, but some mindfood awaits.”
Very interesting. @Stephen (With regard to your reply to God at Play): A version for Christianity would be somewhat doable, as just like in Islam there are many ways to refer to God. The issue there would be the “translation of a foreign language” aspect, as there isn’t a “Christian language”. For specific Christian groups that don’t have regular liturgy in the vernacular, then the names could be in Latin, Greek, etc. Or, if names of God were limited strictly to ones that appear in the Bible, then an educated Christian might make a parallel program with those names in Hebrew and Greek. It would be somewhat easier and more appropriate for Judaism, as Hebrew is still the standard for prayer (even to a large degree in Reform services), and the Hebrew (and occasionally Aramaic)names of God – whether from the Torah or later religious works – are considered more “real” or “legitimate” than translated ones.
The goal is not to pick up, appropriate, and condemn, but to see complexity, being perplexed, and pose questions on return from nothingness.
Besides of seeing this in the light of search, of effervescence, of god being everywhere, I cannot help but see it in the light of what I as a westerner see in the typical muslim.
