How to Get Nothing Done at Work

David, I thought you were kidding about MadLibs...but I did get a MadLibs book for Christmas and I had already been playing with this demo a couple weeks ago. My goal for 2019 is to explore how to use video and animation more in my learning projects--over the holidays I was playing with Animaker. The MadLibs just gave me a reason to use variables in this demo along with the animation.

I would love to see someone do a MadLib that works better in mobile. This is hard work with on a phone. Have a good week--I'm planning on being iced-in for the next couple days.

    MadLibs are standard road trip gear for our family. Played a good number of them during the holidays.

    Your example is amazing. The animated videos and button effects create a wonderful sense of movement and pacing. Thanks for sharing your source file.

    I think text entry boxes in general can be a little tricky on mobile. A flash card approach could work where the text entry fields were more prominently displayed on the screen. In your table example, you could have an option where a different scene or slide appeared where only one text entry field appeared at a time. Just an idea.

    Sorry you're iced-in this week. I won't mention Phoenix weather until you've had a chance to thaw out.

      Glad you liked it. It took me three days to do my first 10-second animation. I can do about 5-7 minutes in a day now. :) Steep learning curve. Animaker is very easy to use.
