    @microkorg: I stopped minting regular NFTs one day to focus solely on minting my first interactive NFT. I was really excited because I knew it would be a challenge of my tech skills. One thing I noticed is the "preview" function on the HEN mint screen doesn't work correctly on a interactive .html NFT mint.

    Since the preview didn't work, I decided to change plans and mint an interactive .svg instead. I didn't know what a pandora's box I had unleashed. It's been weeks, I'm stuck. Svg is so hard to make interactive. I'm over my head. I wasn't trained for this.

    I'll come back and update the thread but for now I'll say about making an interactive .SVG

    -The standard isn't even fully defined. (the biggest problem)
    -There are several protocols, and they aren't supported evenly across browsers. (opera being the most supportive of svg)
    -Multipage support inside .svg is possible but you have to use a hack since the official .svg standard doesn't support multipage. There is an inkscape extension that will create a multipage .svg using layers.
    -Overall, support for .svg is hard to get. This is cutting edge tech, if you are deep into .svg you are a pioneer. But that also means there is no one to ask your questions to when you get stuck.

    (which is what happened to me)

    • What are you using to make it interactive?
      Have you tried p5.js?
      palimpsest
    • I have a bit of experience with d3.js and that works well with svg (static output). I don't know what limitations you have when hosting it.palimpsest
    • Cherub, if you have any previous experience in Flash you should check out Animate. You can output as HTML5 then tweak slightly to upload to HEN.microkorg
    • I've finished building something tonight and going ot test and hopefully mint over the weekend. SO happy with what I've built.microkorg
    • Its basically a piece that creates random generative artworks in 'my style'. You can right click to save as PNG on each creation...microkorg
    • ..im not sure whether to mint It or to keep it to generate hundreds, thousands of original artworks to sell individually ;) (shhhh!)microkorg
    • I'll report back if HEN likes/dislikes this filetype. But it was OK with the (much simpler) prototype I minted to test last night.microkorg
    • Update. Not minting on HEN yet. Speaking to a developer about folk being able to mint the random creations on my site. Whaaat!microkorg
