Quiplibre

This is Quiplibre, a Free Software alternative to Quiplash.

How do I work this?

Quiplibre is available by viewing quiplibre.html in a web browser. You can either download the html file and view it locally, or visit https://wyattscarpenter.github.io/quiplibre/ on your phone or computer or whatever.

Once you are looking at quiplibre, you will be given a chance to host a new game or join a game as a player.

NOTE: You must be connected to the internet to play quiplibre.

I'm playing during a pandemic and all my friends are in different houses, can we still play?

Sure! Just open a hosting session, and then have each player including yourself open a joining session. Quiplibre is still mostly functional even without a "big screen" everyone can see.

Can I write my own custom prompts?

Sure, just modify the prompts array in the html file. It's a big ol' list of prompts, named prompts. You must surround your prompt in quotation marks (either 'single' or "double") and after the closing quotation mark put a comma. Give it a shot!

You might want to make a copy of the unaltered prompts first and put it somewhere convenient, so you can go back to the default prompts easily.

So I notice this project is missing a lot of the bells and whistles of Quiplash, such as music, timers, colors, etc

Yeah, I couldn't be bothered. If you'd like to try to spruce Quiplibre up, go right ahead :)

What do I do if I think of a good prompt (or other contribution) I'd like to submit?

Raise an issue or submit a pull request on https://github.com/wyattscarpenter/quiplibre. Only submit prompts you have the legal right and volition to release under the project's license, though. Don't be stealing copyrighted works to submit as Quiplash prompts!
