Text entry game

I had an enquiry from a client this week for a game they were trying to build and didn't know how. I gave them a high level overview of how to build it.
But the idea wouldn't leave my head, so I took some time out yesterday to build it.
Let me know what you think.

I will share the file when I sort a few things out, I really want to get the Enter Key to submit.

This is great, Phil! Can the entry be saved as a document that can be printed?
Incredible! I love, love, love this...even though I could only get 9 out of 10. Ha!
I'm guessing you have multiple spellings for some of the fruit(?).
Great concept, great design. I don't think you missed anything on it.
I additionally had an undertaking where I required the enter key to reproduce the capacity of a submit button. I reordered the triggers and changed the prefix to "When the client presses ENTER subsequent to tapping on this slide" and that settled the issue.
Hi there I want to make a similar game like this and wanted to export it in an APK file like other games available on different sites on google. How can I export it in APK?
Hi Kevin and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 🙂 You can use PhoneGap or similar software, but the finished product won't resemble a native app...it's just a wrapper around the HTML5 output. Here's another thread that talks about some options in more detail.
Hey there. Maybe I missed it but was the source file ever released?
Hi Lids! You can download Phil Mayor's file here.
Thanks
Can I use it for my learning games site?
Looks cool!
Hello everyone! I'm trying to do a similar example but with validation of just one letter per text field. Can anyone help me with this?
Hi Dimitrios! In case you haven't seen it, you can download this example to check out the variables and triggers Phil Mayor used to create this custom interaction. From what I can gather from looking at it, you can probably use a similar approach and just edit those same variables and triggers to be one letter instead of the full word.
Sarah is correct, that would work OK. I would probably add some javascript that prevented more than one letter being typed.
Love it! Well done
Really nicely design Mr. @phill, i would like to appreciate your work. Keep up the good work.
Great fun activity Phil and so colourful
This is fantastic! Love the "dings", they're so satisfying!
Hi Asad! Yeah! Phil does amazing work! You can download this example here.
Nice design and execution!
This is great! It can be repurposed for adult learning too.
It is looking great. Love it!
Love! Thank you!
Punctuation and grammatical corrections - "Why not?" (asking a question) and "Name the fruit you can see" (instead of 'name the fruit can you see' which is worded like a question).
