# Peace
|
|
|
|
*Peace* 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."
|
|
|
|
*Peace* 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.

Here is an excerpt:
|
|
|
|
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?
|
|
|
|
*if yes, then...*
|
|
|
|
|
|
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?
|
|
|
|
*if yes, then... and so on*
|
|
|
|
You can find the game on our website.
