Storyline Menu Template: Retro Arcade Style

Very cool

love it!  Thanks for sharing!  I wonder if you could use the buttons to give you "cheats" on any of the material presented?  Like when you do that with a real controller, (except you press certain buttons in an order and that's kind of complex for eLearning!) - you could do some kind of "Did you know?  And "Go to Level 2 to find out more" or something like that?

Rich, I love this more than the sliders

@Kristin - I can't tell you how much I'd love to enable users to input the Konami code (Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A) or similar so that they could just cheat their way through the module! It would be possible as I've done something VAGUELY similar before, but getting the client to sign off the development time might be an issue!

@Phil - Same mechanic as the sliders, in a way. Feel free to steal this like you did with my sliders... ;-)

Also, Phil, I wanted to mention that I managed to get the arrows to change state and affect states of each other based on adding them to a button set. It's a much easier way of achieving the slider effect but it is very erratic in my experience. I think  reduced the number of triggers by 75% at least using this method with a button set, but I'll be damned if it's easy to replicate consistently. 

I had an issue yesterday with sliders using button sets, I wanted to do a two way slider like the iOS sliders (True/False) where the other answer gets covered.

The button set seemed to reverse one of the triggers,  so in the end I gave up.

Build me one and I will buy you lunch next time I see you

@Phil - Something like this?

Mine's the Surf n' Turf with a bottle of Dom Perignon. You didn't need ME to build this for YOU, surely?

That is it, I gave up yesterday, my triggers were confusing for some reason the triggers worked one way but when I added the other way they broke the slider.  Didnt want to waste the clients money so suggested we do something else instead.

I owe you lunch if you can post the file?

Very cool Richard, thanks for sharing.

Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day. Teach a man.... Oh fine, here's the file

You'll kick yourself when you look at the trigger panel. Enjoy!

I kicked myself quite a lot yesterday.

Thanks will have a look at this.

I now need to avoid you like the plague

Only joking, I owe you one!

Very cool... I am sucker for retro stuff!

You are one fire Richard but not so sure about your taste in lunch.

Kicking myself, I over complicated it using a selected state.

Thanks

Phil

Excellent work Richard

Thanks for sharing
