Let's spend some time with bitsy, a self-professed "little engine for little games, worlds, and stories." It's an intentionally limited low- / no-code way to create a playable game in moments, and I've found it especially inspiring as a method for making interactive poems, essays, and virtual spaces.

We'll spend the first hour of the session going over some examples and how to use the engine; the second hour will be devoted to making our first pieces. If you're already familiar with bitsy, feel free to just pop in for the second half and treat it as a sort of miniature game jam!
