    Spagetti Bolognese 1.0 and Spagetti Con Carne 1.0 for te Newton

     
    Spagetti consists of several Newtcard stacks (for the Apple Newton MessagePad) intended as tools for creating, managing and visualizing a
    work of hyperfiction. It is not a tool for creating a game or story
    ready to be presented to an audience, but based on the output this
    Newtcard stack gives you should be able to. It is a tool that helps you
    write a work of hyperfiction and you can use it to create an interactive scenario. With the aid of the Spagetti Manager you can make a stack
    ready for export to present it to other people.

    Spagetti Bolognese has two types of cards: Maps and Lists. Spagetti Con
    Carne is the smaller brother of the Spagetti Bolognese package: it only
    has the List-features. I must confess that both are quiote big. That has
    to do with the way Newtcard stores its scripts.

    Since spagetti is made in Newtcards (www.nsbasic.com) for the Apple
    Newton it will solely work on Apple Newton Messagepads, and only on
    Newton Messagepads of the type 2000 and 2100. In theory it could also
    work on the Emate 300, but due to the layout I have created (portrait) I
    have no stack available for those machines. If someone wants to adapt
    the layout for the Emate I am willing to offer that person a helping hand.

    I might be the only one who is ever going to use these stacks, but nonetheless I decided to present them to the Newton community as e-mail
    ware. If you use or try the program, send me an email and tell me what
    you think of it. If you create a game, or work of hyperfiction ready for publication with it, mention the Newton and Spagetti (with my name) in
    the credits. I also would appreciate it if you send me a copy of the
    work created.

    And there is the Spagetti Manager. The spagetti Manager makes a Spagetti stack ready for export by exporting the text and links on all the cards
    to the Notepad. From there it can be exported to a desktop machine using
    NCU or Xport (or you can use Simplemail to send it to other people). You
    can choose between HTML-ised export (based on a style-sheet) and text
    export. Right now I have no plans for creating an update for Spagetti Bolognese (except for bug fixes). But I have plans for updating the
    Spagetti Manager and adding functionality to it.
