Hello!
What could be more brutal than GLOBAL THERMONUCLEAR WAR?
WAR GAMES

Like Jodi, I used a monospaced font to get that 'brutal' look (OCR A Extended) and built a gate screen, tab interaction and freeform Pick One quiz slide in this style. If you load the demo on an LMS, the computer will address you as Professor YOURSURNAME as the world ends.
Master file now available at the link above.

- Oh, and all of the interactions are accessible via mouse/touch, tab key or keyboard. (Playing the demo via your keyboard matches the retro look.)
- Very retro! Reminded me of playing Asteroids. And great homage to Peter Sellers in one of my all time favorite movies.
- I thoroughly enjoy your pop-cultured inspired works. My fiancé saw the interface on my laptop, and immediately said, "War Games"! He's seen the film three times. I admittedly have yet to see it. It's now on my list.
- Thanks all - demo now updated with a map interaction if you fail the question or reboot it. Will make master file available when I've added a few more variants.
- Just added an animated infographic based on the Essence template -- which you can see on your third attempt. Now at 5 slides and as soon as I hit 6 I will share my master file. Thanks for reminding me about the templates Yvonne!
- Hello again!
Demo now updated with:
- 1 gate screen
- 1 tab interaction
- 1 interactive map
- 1 animated infographic (adapted from the Essence set)
- 1 freeform Pick One quiz
- 1 Text Entry quiz
The tab, map and infograph interactions appear the first, second, and third time you run the demo.
You can download a copy of my master file using the updated link in my original post. Please see the accompanying notes - I've used a lot of triggers to enable the user to interact with each slide by keyboard, mouse or touch. If you have any questions about it, drop me a line.
- This is fabulous! Love the theme, and enjoyed using my keyboard to interact.
