RTTP-Defining the Mind

'Defining the Mind' is an in-progress Reacting to the Past game.

The documents are maintained in Scrivener, and published via LauLatex. Changes must be made to the Scrivener documents or they will be over-written at compliation.

The current Scrivener file is 'GameBook2.0.3.scriv.' It contains the Game Book, the Instructor's Manual and the Role Sheets in 'RTTP2.0' format. Most of the primary source PDF files are contained in the 'research' section. Previous versions are archived in 'Obsolete'.

The file 'APA-Complete-2.X.pdf' is the complete build, including all three books. As I complete a version, I will update this file. The current working version is 2.1.0. Books will eventually be separated once I have a full, viable, version. They are kept together for the sake of cross-referencing.

Contents

• APAGame-Complete-2.X.pdf -- Current 'stable' version
• APA.bib -- Bibliography for BibTex
• Activities -- contains pdf versions of APA in-class experiments related to the game.

• README.md -- this file
• Obsolete -- contains old version, including the 1.0 version in OpenOffice format

Tables and figures

With Scrivener 3 updated (Version 2.1.0), I've tried to use MMD tables as much as possible. Long tables, either by height or width, require direct coding in LaTeX. These passages are escaped from MMD processing by and{=latex}

Version notes

2.1

Added Kurt Freund, Scrivener3.0 format, all tables, cross references and citations working correct. Still need:

1. Write up 'smallworld' experiment
2. Citations / PDF of Freund
3. Couple of misc. citations waiting on Amazon delivery 7/29/19

2.0

Updated to 'RTTP2.0' format, Summer 2018. Still need:

1. Add Kurt Freund to introduce ban of aversion therapy
2. Clean up mmd / latex tables.
3. in-document formatted citations from old OO files. Need to update to LaTeX.
4. Split page # / index / works cited by book (LaTeX part).
5. Updated to 'tufte' LaTeX style.
