This week’s challenge is to create an interaction for Valentine’s Day. What could be more fun than that?
The Idea
I had an elaborate story/game design in mind, but needed something I could knock out far more quickly. I kept coming back to the whimsical appeal of vintage valentines and eventually found one I could imagine using.
Valentine Roulette
The problem with the spinning valentine was figuring out how to engineer it. Lucky for me, generous community member Geert De Rycke shared his javascript-powered, randomized spinning wheel and I happened to find it. Woo-hoo!
So Who Are the Hidden Valentines?
Every time someone tweets out my Dapper Dan pictograms I always say “I love those guys!” – because I do – so that’s what got me started. Using characters from past challenge entries just seemed like way to go.
The Result
Feel free to take the wheel for a spin right here and see if you find a valentine you like! There’s an excellent chance that at least one of these choices will make you happy.
