چکیده

We report on the identification, creation and use of narrative patterns to create an interactive cartoon.

Winky Dink offered an engaging and enjoyable experience of a type not currently available on interactive television.

These patterns have also been used to create a genuine interactive cartoon using a modern multimedia development tool. We believe that this work could contribute towards the design and development interactive media (i-media) suitable for interactive television (iTV)
