Library of Babel 1.0.2
In the Library of Babel you can find any pageof text that can be written down using the combination of the 26lowercase letters of the English alphabet and the comma, period andspace.Every meaningful and meaningless thought exists in some book onone of the five shelves on one of the four walls in one of the manymany hexagonal rooms somewhere deep within the Library of Babel.But for every page of meaningful content, there are also billionsand trillions of pages full of "gibberish".The librarians of this library spend all of their lives readingthe books in the search for wisdom. If you meet some of them duringyour journey through the Library, they will be happy to tell youwhat they might have already found in some of the books.To make your life a bit easier, there is a built in search menuthat lets you search for whatever text that comes to your mind.After you hit the search button don't forget to press "GO" so thatyou are taken to the exact location of the book that contains yoursearch phrase. ( Also, don't tell the librarians about this searchmachine of yours. They might steal it and throw you over therailing into the endless pit of darkness in the middle of thehexagons. )The pages that you see in this 3D Library are all generated byJonathan Basile's brilliant website libraryofbabel.info (Internetaccess is required to view and search for pages)Visit the website if you are interested in the whole idea and don'tforget to read the original short story by Borges. This app willmake a lot more sense afterwards.The app lets you look around by moving your phone around as if yourwere actually inside the library. Or you can turn off this "VR"mode and use the double on-screen joysticks to move and lookaround.If there are any problems, feel free to contact me.
