Choose-Your-Own-Adventure as a Graph

Alex

Sean Ragan created a visual map of his favorite choose-your-own-adventure book, The Mystery of Chimney Rock by Edward Packard (1979). In this directed graph, each page is a node and the arrows are page choices.

Wow, going back some years : I did that too!, with squares though... little Gant diagrams for teenagers...

I remember those books : litterature teachers were upset by their succes and there was a rumor that the books would develop scuicide among teens.

I created a similar graph in the 7th grade from one of those books, probably Cave of Time? Only by the time I did it 5th and 6th grade books like Choose Your Own Adventure were no longer cool, so I thought I did something cool and was mocked like Martin Prince.

Make sure you see the linked "making trombones" video. Besides being a cheesy hype commercial for Yamaha, it nonetheless shows you the whole process of building a trombone which I found pretty neat.

The trombone is rather interesting in that it's one of the few instruments that has gone almost unchanged for in about 500 years. The renaissance instrument (usually called a sackbut to distinguish it from the modern version) has a slightly narrower bore, especially near the bell, and the mouthpiece is shaped a bit differently, but it's essentially the same instrument. The other instruments that the sackbut typically played with at the time, the shawm, cornett, serpent, kortholt, curtal, have entirely disappeared.

Anyone in Dallas interested in seeing and hearing the renaissance sackbut in action should drop by Emanuel Lutheran Church in Dallas next sunday: http://www.emanueldallas.org/files/concert.pdf

I'll be playing on viola da gamba, recorder and crumhorn there.
