Game Scoring

Jun 01, 2016

Hello,

I am very new to Storyline 2. "New" as in I've only been working with it for two days. I'm in the process of creating a Jeopardy game. I have the easy stuff put together, such as the background, the multiple choice questions (20 of them), graphics, and adding a "trigger" to a couple of buttons.

However, I can't figure out the variables to create a live score, as well as to make a green check mark or red "X" show up after they've answered each question.

Can anyone direct me to a step by step video, or give me step by step instructions on how to do this? I need step by step because I don't really know how to work this software yet.

I've added my file to this post so you can see how much of a mess it is. I copied the Jeopardy questions page from an older version we had, but I was unable to update that game-hence me making a new one from scratch.

Thank you in advance!

In addition to Christie's links, here are some step by step instructions for doing some of the basics you're asking about: 

Working with image states, for the "x's" and checkmarks

Working with variables

Working with triggers

Using variable references, to display your live score

Hope this helps!
