An interactive film project for École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.
This repository contains the code for "End of the World", a small interactive film project developed as part of the course "Myths of the Ancient Mediterranean Sea" at EPFL.
The project is implemented using Svelte, a modern JavaScript framework for building user interfaces. It provides an interactive film experience where the correct video sequence is played automatically, after which a list of choices on how to continue is displayed, allowing the viewer to influence the narrative.
This project is designed to be deployed on Vercel. It can also be built using adapter-static or adapter-node to run locally or on a VPS.
Media can either be served from the static/media assets directory, or hosted on another domain using an external service. It's recommended to use a service without egress fees, such as Cloudflare's R2 object storage.
To get a local copy of the project up and running on your machine, follow these steps:
- Clone this repository to your local machine using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/MarcusCemes/hum-452-myths-project.git
cd hum-452-myths-project- Install the dependencies using pnpm:
pnpm installOnce you have cloned the repository and installed the dependencies, you can start the development server with the following command:
pnpm devThis will launch the application on a local development server. You can access it by opening your web browser and visiting http://localhost:5173.
To set an external domain for media assets, set the VITE_MEDIA_URL environment variable. This can be done using the .env file. If deploying to Vercel, remember to also set this variable in their interface, as it gets hard-coded into the generated code during build time.
To build the project, run the following command:
pnpm buildIf deploying to Vercel, this will be run automatically.
