Re: How are Designers Using Random Number Variables in E-Learning? #334

Hello!

I recently used random numbers to change the order/speed of the targets in this fun shooting gallery game that I built for Commrcial Express at Easter.

The competition was only open to our customers and is now closed, but the game is still live if you would like to give it a try.

Varying the appearance/experience of your e-learning on repeat viewings can help keep users interested and engaged.

In the same vein, each time you sit this quiz, a random number variable changes what Hunter Thompson says at the start of the course:

Currently working on something more up-to-date that uses these principles, which I will share here.

    That cracked me up :D Very creative use of random variables. I’m interested in knowing how you changed the speed of the targets with RN.

      Thanks Sam. The objects have more than one motion path, all the same length, but different speeds. They are triggered by a random number variable.

    As always Jonathan you come up with amazing ideas and then combine them with other ideas. Triggering different motion paths based on random numbers is not something I have even thought of let alone attempt.

    Thanks for sharing what you do.
