<p><strong>This is the code for the digital poem 'Newcastle Nine!'. The interface presents the user with a map of central Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead, with nine location markers. Selecting each marker adds another to the poem on the right hand side of the screen.</strong></p><p></p><h3>Content</h3><p>This code repository contains the files for the poem interface, including the audio files for each individual line in the 'sound' folder. </p><p>The lines of the poem are stored within the 'map locations' object in the JS file 'js/lines.js', in the js/index.js file.</p><p>The interface's functionality is signposted by comments in the 'index.html' and 'js/index.js' files.</p><p>The code and design in this interface are adapted from the mobile applications Steps in Time, which I developed for the 2017 Newcastle Poetry Festival. </p><p></p><h3>Third-party software</h3><ul><li><p><strong>JQuery</strong> and <strong>JQuery Mobile</strong>- used throughout for UI design (MIT License - Copyright and license can be found in js/jquery-3.4.1.js and js/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.min.js)</p></li><li><p><strong>Google Maps</strong> - used to provide the map interface.
