What is an explorable explanation?
It's our way-too-long phrase for a thing that explains an idea through play.
You can say "explorable" for short.
Here's some examples of explorables
made in 3 weeks or less,
so you can get an idea of what you can make during this jam!
see more examples at
explorabl.es!
How can I make an explorable?
For tools, check out the
Explorable Tools
page!
For tutorials, check out the
Explorable Tutorials
page!
And if you need to host your explorable somewhere on the internet for free,
github pages
or
itch.io
are good bets.
Who else is making explorables?
You can come hang out on the
r/Explorables subreddit
during the jam! (or for that matter, before and after the jam)
Show off what you're working on, give & get feedback, discuss ideas,
do whatever it is a "community" does!
