This would be fun. Deven gave me an idea ... I think it would be possible for us to include music in the games. The biggest hurdle we had before was that the music would repeat each time you clicked a new page. But I think I know how to fix that ...
As a player, when you came across a page that had music on it, a little tiny window would popup that would play the music. If you closed the window, it would ask "DO YOU WANT TO DISABLE MUSIC POPUPS FOR THE REST OF THIS GAME?" If you disabled the popup window (or had popup blocking software on), the pages with music would have a little music icon that you could click on to open the window again.
As an author, you would be given three choices for each of your pages: DO NOTHING, CHANGE SONG, or STOP CURRENT SONG.
CHANGE SONG - You would select a song from the library. When the player visited the page, the song would be changed to whatever you selected (unless it was already playing the song)
STOP - This would stop the music when the player landed on that page.
DO NOTHING - If a song is already playing when the player lands on the page, do nothing. IF nothing is playing, keep it that way.
Thoughts? One thing we would need is freeware MIDI songs.
