Sagascript - JS at the forefront of emerging storytelling
summary
JavaScript powers three concrete projects: a PhoneGap mobile app called Redemption Machines that premieres in Belfast and delivers location‑triggered audio chapters woven into the city’s architecture, a browser audio game Dark Tower that uses Buzz.js with ~50 audio tracks to turn mixing into interactive, responsive rooms, and a navigation gimmick that uses an AR authoring system to make GPS Penguins lead users to an aquarium. These are built, deployed and working tonight.
