|
|
|
<p><em>Peace</em> is a mindfulness game Cara created as an in-class
|
|
|
exercise in creating text adventures in python. The game will break at
|
|
|
any time by saying: “I am now at peace”, but will also break if you
|
|
|
simply type “peace.”</p>
|
|
|
<p><em>Peace</em> works less as a game per se, and more as an exercise
|
|
|
in reconnecting to your senses (smell, temperature, touch) by imagining
|
|
|
oneself in imaginary landscapes. It takes on the text-adventure format
|
|
|
by asking its players to respond “yes” to continue at each step.</p>

<p>Here is an excerpt:</p>
|
|
|
<pre><code>You are wearing thin cotton. Can you feel
|
|
|
the warm ground through the layer?
|
|
|
Can you feel the warmth of the sun on your face?</code></pre>
|
|
|
<p><em>if yes, then…</em></p>
|
|
|
<pre><code>The smell of lavender and warm soil is thick in the air.
|
|
|
The flowers are so full.
|
|
|
When you just touch them,
|
|
|
it feels like they burst with beads of lavender oil.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Their nectar is sweet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The air is clear.
|
|
|
The sky is blue.
|
|
|
There are no clouds.
|
|
|
There is only sun and peace and lavender.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Would you like to explore another daydream?</code></pre>
|
|
|
<p><em>if yes, then… and so on</em></p>
|
|
|
<p>You can find the game on our website.</p>
