Repo for my bitsy game, Ekphrasis.

I created this game as part of the School of Machines, Making, and Make-Believe's course on making personal games.

I used image to bitsy to convert my pixel art into bitsy rooms as well as Sean LeBlanc's permanent items hack.

References

The game uses text from Steve Mitchell's translation of Rainer Maria Rilke's "Archaic Torso of Apollo."

You can read more about the poem, and check out several other English-language translations in this article.
