#i considered learning java for this assignment alone just to evade using app inventor

Hey guys it's time for another blog post for my class!

So Lucas, as you may know, I recently discovered that app inventor has this really fun restriction of only 10 screens total for an entire app. This was a rather unfortunate revelation for me and my classmates because we are making a visual novel, and my path alone was already over 10 screens, so you can imagine that all 3 paths as well as the introduction screens would far exceed this limit. We have decided that we will have to limit each path to 3 screens and the intro sequence will all take place on 1 screen, and as I am unwilling to forfeit any of my story, I will instead get creative. Current ideas include implementing a way to tap the text box to go to the next dialogue, limiting the amount of screens needed (I'll admit having a different screen for every single dialogue was an easy way out). For the intro sequence, we thing that for each of the 3 options we have for the monster (did I mention this is a horror game) of run away, call for help, or approach can involve some of the app requirements, ie. run away requires shaking the phone, call for help involves screaming into the microphone, approach involves tapping the image.

Rest assured we did in fact meet up in person for this project, and although the app inventor website was unable to load for any of us we took the selfie needed.
