The saga continues. NYC based artist/programmer Ravi Rajakumar has ported the Chronicles of Pookie & JR to Javascript. Rajakumar notes that in javascript the whole thing ends up being about 11k with the css and html, and not including the jQuery includes, but the actual core bit of js is still around 2k. http://luckysoap.com/pookieandjr

People will probably quickly come up with better methods than I could suggest.

These are really neat. While looking at the source code of the first one, I noticed that the sequence has an intentional arrangement to it but I also wondered what you meant by specifically written sentences. Did you have any guidelines you would give to anyone interested in writing their own text for something like this?
