Typing Game

Apr 12, 2016

Hello Everyone,

I am interested in creating a course to help develop typing skills. I wanted to create one based on an underwater scene where a shark is based on one side of the screen and as you type (a word that drops down from the top of the screen) correctly, then shark will not move but if you type one incorrectly the shark moves towards your character on the left. I am fairly proficient with Articulate and creating triggers, but I admit that I am looking for ideas on this one. Thank you all in advance. 

Side note: I understand the lengths at which the work will involve and am prepared to log hours!

Hello Everyone, I was able to accomplish my goal and thought I would share it here. I am still very new to articulate so the layers and triggers are messy, but testing so far all has gone as planned. The only downside at this point is when "unpausing" or resuming the game the focus no longer is the text field and so the cursor leaves, making it hard to click in the box before typing. This was a bit challenging but I welcome feedback and suggestions. Thank you all for the support and let me know what you think!
