Join the Discord! \(^__^)/ Anyone can feedback upon request in the #workshop channel.

Prompt: A college student is enjoying a Friday night in the city with friends when they end up separated from the rest of the group. When they realize they are lost and have no ride home, they try to call one of their friends. Just then, the entire internet backbone goes dark.

@FemmeFatale I love Yeats. I think my favorite line is from The Circus Animals’ Desertion.

I do workshops for writers in the Scribble Hub Discord server. Most of my feedback style requires back and forth communication, so it's hard to do it in a forum. Feel free to hit me up. Discord Server link: discordapp.com/invite/vpxWXQd My Discord username: night0w1

If you are expecting very many readers, I just want to warn you that this type of work won't be popular or get much attention on a site like this. Having said that, I like the idea. I think there's probably a lot of room on this site for collaborative-style works between multiple authors. I'm...

Yes.

Post-hardcore and electro-whatever. If it's too loud or someone is screaming, sounds like my jam.

I don't think @lazyredragon is looking for code exactly. It sounded to me like they were asking how things work, so they can explain actions and situations in a way that is plausible while avoiding showing any actual code, which is honestly unnecessary.

It's possible I'm mistaken and that it is allowed in the ECMA spec, but I know it's not allowed at runtime for any engine I've used (V8, Node, SpiderMonkey).

To clarify, in JavaScript, you have to instantiate the variable, because a variable is an object, and all objects must be instantiated because in JS everything is an object. I know next to nothing about Python. Teivel makes a good point about mutability. Mutation is a serious problem for games...

Yes, that could happen. Also, it IS possible to edit the code as long as it the code edited is not currently instantiated and the system is built in such a way that you can edit text files directly from inside the game. Also, for instance, if the system allowed for direct interaction with the OS...

In games, there are bugs and there are mistakes. A mistake is where something works correctly but a human did something they shouldn't have. For instance, making all the in-game premium items super cheap. A bug is an unintended consequence of a piece of code in specific edge cases. Buffer...

A script is a piece of code. It cannot be edited, so it can't be damaged. Can a bug look like a virus? It would depend on what you mean. For example, you could have a game that runs on a server (as opposed to a client-only game). A bug that causes a secondary bug could happen. Theoretically...

I feel like that kind of story would be very hard to write if you aren't familiar with various things involving game creation. I work in the video game industry, so feel free to ask anything you want from me.

There are always exceptions that are so good they make other writers envious. Otherwise, the purpose of the first sentence is the make the reader read the rest of the paragraph. The rest of the paragraph's job is the make the reader unable to stop reading until they turn the page. The first...

Don't forget metonymy, synecdoche, merism, chiasm, and being a know-it-all. :p If I'm honest though, I think pretty much all of these except metaphor should be tossed out the window by newbies. It's like walking into an auto shop and picking up random tools and trying to fix a car without ever...

There's a lot of things I could say here, but it would be very long. I'll echo what a few others said. Read really good, industry published writing. A lot of it. Even if you are bored or don't "like" it. Reading the classics can be good, but also focusing on writers that writers read. For second...

I know that feel. For your sake, I will do my best to not write a derivative of The Tempest. (^__^)
