I really like the idea of Card Shark. I think it is a simple organization system, but would work. It really seems to make the whole idea of hypertext or interactive narrative simple. It breaks it all down to a bunch of If-Then loops, which makes sense to me from the ol' C++ programming. My question is simple...is it this simple? Card Shark has spawned alot of ideas in my head...I just don't understand what I am missing.
