Top Trumps in Storyline

Jan 29, 2024

Hi all,

Last year I was asked if it was possible to develop a Top Trumps style game in Storyline. I was pretty confident it wasn't possible without a decent amount of development but I didn't let that stop me. Eventually (with some help from ChatGPT for some of the Javascript), I got a working version that has the following features:

  • Easily updatable statistics and card information
  • Almost unlimited combinations of cards
  • Easy to adapt to any topic/theme

It uses a GoogleSheet to hold the card information and game data along with a github repo to store images. Everything else is within Storyline.

I've written up how it works here:

and a demo version is available here:

I'm almost sure there's better ways to do this, especially the Javascript triggers! But my knowledge of Javascript is limited and this was the only way I could get it working.

At the moment it's a proof of concept. so there does need to be some work done to make it look a bit nicer, and we are aware of some issues with the statistics that cause a lot of draws, but hopefully as a proof of concept it gives you an idea of how it works.
