Guru Eve: How are you spending your day?

Jun 30, 2015

Now that your entries are nestled all snug on our servers, I'm curious how you're feeling about your projects. Are you relieved it's over? Did you need a little more time? What's going through your e-learning minds right now?

Absolutely LOVE that Linda, especially the "multiple boxes on one page" that tell the story at the start. An interactive and PERFECT alternative to something that could have been done using bullet points. Lovely!

Just wow guys. Everyone of these entries is incredible. I love the creativity and how each project pushes the tool to the limits.

Kudos to us all.

I'm working about 5 minutes from where Geddy and Alex grew up.

I was trying to build a SL2 "Interactive Rush Juke Box" last year, but could not get it finished...

I'm looking forward to seeing how you handled the collision detection in the Cosmic Dodger game, Jerson. Very cool.

I'll share my entry into the Guru challenge, too. I wanted to see how tough it would be to build a working blackjack game using Storyline. The answer..."very." In the end, though, I had a lot of fun building and testing it.

Thanks Erich, it wasn't to hard to get it to work once I figured out a method. The comets were on sliders and I added a number variable to the satellite that tracked where it was on the screen. So all i did was add a trigger that added to the damage variable every time the comet moved if the satellite variable equaled a certain number for that comet and the come slider variable equaled between two specific numbers. Hmm... sounds more complicated than it really is. Don't worry I plan on making a tutorial for this.

No, that makes sense. Nice use of the slider functionality.

Wow, Mitch, I loved everything about that! The look and graphics are spectacular, the voiceover, the script, all fantastic!

Even more, the Twin Peaks music just nailed it! I am currently re-watching it (and I can't believe your last name is Horn!)

Great work and good luck!

So many great people and projects here. I submitted a few things. Did other people get email receipts for their submissions? I hope my stuff made it out!

Paul - really like that. Love the full screen feel.

Great project, Paul! And absolutely amazing graphics. Were they created in PPT?

Thanks David,

The full screen is one of my favorite features in Storyline. You can find this feature under the player tab, than choose other.

Hi Joanna,

Thanks for your comment. This time I've used Illustrator for my graphics. ;)

Yeah, man, I had grand plans for the contest that, owing to a few side gigs, I wasn't able to execute on, but I still submitting SOMETHING. Even if it sucks, you still should submit something. Dig?
