Running the server

You will need SWI-Prolog installed. Get the (latest development release)[https://www.swi-prolog.org/download/devel] and run here. I'm developing on 8.3.22

To run the server (assuming OVERWORLDINTRODREAM is the first dream):

On linux and mac

 cd prolog/
swipl -s server.pl -g "ifml:load_game_to_cards('OVERWORLDINTRODREAM', '../toolkits/md2xml/'),go"

root is the card the player sees when they first load the game.

On windows:

Double click the server.pl file. A window will open and say something about welcome to prolog. You'll be left with a prompt like ?-.

At that prompt type

ifml:load_game_to_cards('OVERWORLDINTRODREAM', '../toolkits/md2xml/'),go.

Notice the period at the end. (and yes, type enter at the end of all of it) There will be a moment's delay and if all goes well it will say

% Started server at http://localhost:8888/

On either system, this will run the server, you can look at it at (port 8888)[http://localhost:8888/].

I've only tested with firefox at the moment.

Adding stuff to your md file

You can add audio/video to your reveal section. Recently most browsers stopped allowing media to play on load. Not sure what's up, the video is playing but audio is not.

Video

<video width="320" height="240" autoplay="true"><source src="/img/walrus.mp4" type="video/mp4" />8c( no video</video>

<audio><source src="/audio/Dream-transition1.mp3"  autoplay="true"/></audio>

Converting files

It's a game jam - things go sideways

The files are marked up in markdown, then run through a python program to make xml, and the prolog reads xml

cd  ~/ludumdare48/toolkits/md2xml/src
python -m main ..
