My challenge this week was to build a simple game using animation, motion paths, and sound effects.
This demo uses the arrow keys to move a robot around the screen.
The hardest part was figuring out how to keep the robot from leaving the play area.
Read my blog post for more detail about the logic I used:

I've included a link to the Storyline file if you want to see how it was built.

- Samuel5 years agoCommunity MemberGreat technique Ron. Thanks for adding your process. I had a similar issue with my other project. The method you’ve used makes a lot of sense.
- Ron_Katz5 years agoCommunity MemberThanks Sam.
- JenniferEdgerto5 years agoCommunity MemberThis was fun, Ron! As a newer Storyline user, I have not attempted to work with variables yet, but I could see how much work you put into it. One question...will the $$ I won be arriving by check or PayPal? ;)
- Ron_Katz5 years agoCommunity MemberThose are ELC love $. You can collect immediately :)
- JenniferEdgerto5 years agoCommunity MemberAw, thanks!
- JodiSansone5 years agoCommunity MemberHi Ron, Thank for posting this. I never use arrow keys--Samuel does on occasion in his demos--so I was curious to look at your file. When I tried to download it I got a an error message. Maybe you didn't make it public? I'd love to check it out. By the way, the last video game I played was Asteroids. I'm not much of a gamer!
- Ron_Katz5 years agoCommunity MemberHi Jodi. Thank you for the feedback. I also uploaded the storyline file here:
