Happy 301st challenge everyone.
Here's a board game called Virus Wars which I wouldn't be able to create in Storyline without a great help of number variables:

Here's a list of number variables I made work to:
- measure nurse and virus strength starting with 100% vitality for the virus and 0% for nurse
- roll the dice (random number variable generating 1-6 dots on each face six-sided dice)
- move the player along path by number of moves the dice rolled
- count on which numbered spot the player is (there are 50 spots in total)
- count questions asked
Enjoy and beat the virus!

- Sensational!!! Awesome work Joanna. I did not know that designing a game like this is possible with Articulate. The design including colour and font choice are superb. The audio elements fit perfectly and overall the course looks very modern and engaging. I am very impressed with your work and might reach out to you soon. I'm looking for some "game" options to break up some longer eLearning programs we're designing at the moment. Thank you for sharing your "Virus Wars"...
- Woohoo Joanna, I love that!
- Stunning as usual Joanna
- I like everything about your game, Joanna. Very inspiring. Great achievement.
- Joanna, very nice. Cool to see a board game activity with this. Nice look and feel.
- Thanks so much everyone!
- Great work, Joanna.
The concept and execution were impeccable. Thanks. - So excited to dive into developing something like this!
- Hi Joanna! This is such amazing work! We'd love to feature this board game in one of our upcoming articles. Would you be willing and able to share the project file so others can see how you set up the game? Thanks!
