Maybe not Starwars but inspired by Starwars! A space odometer. My coding is paying off a bit. ;) http://melslearninglab.com/ELH/odometer/story.html

  Welcome to the challenges Adam. Nice work on the animations! I liked how you created the intro. Have you thought about putting the 'next' arrow pointing downward as that is where the text is flying in from?

  Hey Adam this is wonderful. I crashed on the first question and noticed that you showed me the question again. It might make sense to eliminate the second try in a game like this especially since each question only has 2 options. Maybe you could display a score instead.

  Great idea Avinash. My only suggestion would be to make the next question arrow a different colour. It took me a minute to figure out how to navigate to the next slide.

  That was great. If you were to add a lil background music, i think it would really tie it all together.

    Yes, totally agree David. I was wondering how people went about using the Star Wars theme in their pieces, I mean, copyright-wise and all... I suppose I could just get my kid to hum it ;)
    
    Edit: OK, it wasn't that hard to find after all. Found this site: http://www.televisiontunes.com/star_wars.html and legal: http://www.televisiontunes.com/copyright.php (I'll say this qualifies as educational use)
    
    Thanks David, it's so much better with the music :)

Okay I spent way to long on going through ideas to submit that time was running out.

I quickly put this Mobile Articulate Studio piece together. It's super simple but I like the fact that there are no Prev/Next buttons and users can tap the left/right part of the screen to navigate.

I also liked the layout as it just felt super clean.

  I love that Linda, it looks fantastic and I loved the sound effects for the feedback. Only suggestion I would make would be to add a TRY AGAIN button (I only got one right, and wanted to do it again!)
  As always, great work!

    Thanks Veronica. Actually you don't need a try again button as you can just reposition the ones that you got wrong.

Hi Everyone, it's christmas vacation so I've got some time to play around. Here's a puzzle interaction I created a while a ago for a project for a client that insisted of having a puzzle interaction :).

The idea is that there are right and wrong statements and the user drops the right statements on the puzzle board.

For the deconstructionists among us...

Mine was inspired by David Lindenberg's PPT work and (I have to find the source) collectible cards...

This is Doodle Jump meets Star Wars: JUMP WARS

http://bit.ly/1ZnMaFr

This is an example using an LRS (via xAPI), Storyline and a game engine together. Not only best scores are recorded but each "awakenings" are stored as well, which in return affect other players. Jump in and check it out!

The original version was for learning with questions you had to answer keep your points (hence the learning part). I removed that for propriety reasons and made it a Star Wars theme.

And now that it's done, I can go back and check out everyone else's... :)

  That was fun, Zsolt! What game engine did you use?

    Scirra's Construct 2. They have a free version to check it out but I do have a license. Amazing sets of game mechanics (physics, pathfinder, turret, platform, etc.).

Hi folks,
This is my first posting, it is a bent and wiggly word search. I don't have any mobile devices so it has only been tried on my computer. If anyone discovers odd behavior on other platforms I'd be interested to know. I'll add it to my file of things to fix in the future. Enjoy.

  I also have a question: My link seems to require logging into Google Drive before it will open the published content but others on the post just open when I click them. I just created an account to share this and all the information on how to use Google Drive to share Storyline output don't quite match what I'm seeing (probably earlier versions). I've pattern matched the best I can but suspect I've missed something in setting up the file(s) to share. Does anyone have more current instructions or ideas why mine is different?

    Hi Rebecca -
    
    It looks like your example is playing correctly, now. Are you still seeing issues with having to log into Google Drive?
    
    I included your galactic word search in the recap: https://community.articulate.com/articles/star-wars-interactions#RebeccaHoneycutt
