This is my first submission for a challenge and almost did not post the end result... I specifically did not look at the Storyline file as I wanted to try and engineer the interaction from scratch. Which I did... but wow, did it go off the rails.
My goal was to use more animation and change up the scene. So of course, cranes. Because why not?
Note that the "finished" product does not have a resolution as I have already spent far more time on this than anticipated and other projects call. In other words, no logic built to determine a "win".

If anyone is curious to see just how off the rails this went, the Storyline file is below. I can honestly say, in the last push to finish this, I thought of three different ways to have designed this that would have been easier, simpler, and included less eye-rolling as I copied and pasted triggers and modified each one because I did not have the foresight to build this efficiently.

Learned a ton, either way.

- This is REALLY good, and don't sell your accomplishment short. Animations and logic are two of the hardest aspects of Storyline. You did Great Jeff!
- Thanks, Richard!
- Agree with Richard, that is great, and really creative, and the point of these challenges is to exactly that: learn!
Nice work!
