There's a long history of people making machines that can tell fortunes. From Magic 8 balls to indie games like Wishfishing, it's fertile ground for experiencing the mystery of technology and providing a space for fun and reflection. And now we're going to join that tradition! In this workshop, we will explore the design of these programs together, and then we will make one ourselves using Downpour, an approachable game creation tool that V recently launched.
