Memory Game - Storyline
Been attempting to do a memory board using Multiple Quiz as basis, thinking that I could utilize that built in logic* for checking for correct matching answers. I am a web developer new to Articulate and not finding the tools that I need. Trying to learn more about embedding javascript (Execute Javascript).
My Memory Game plan is:
:: You get X number of attempts to match cards (among say 8, for now).
TECH NOTE: This feature is built into Multiple Quiz.
:: Once you successfully match 2 cards (by select and submit) they are removed from the board, revealing a portion of background image to get a clue to solve a mystery. You get only X of attempts.
TECH NOTE: In crude design, a correct answer could simply advance to a next slide, which would be a duplicate of the previous but with those two cards (objects) removed from the slide canvas, as well as those two "answers" removed from the Round 2 quiz, and so on and so on.
This seemed straight-forward enough, but I've hit an early snag. My States don't seem to be changing as desired. I created a solid opaque shape for Normal state, and a matchable image for the Selected state. But, it isn't switching out. (I also tried creating a matchable image as Down state; haven't yet tried it as Disabled, but I don't think that will work with Quiz since it is processing by select form.) The States do change -- such as I test with something simple like a border rather than solid, but the Normal state image stays above the Selected state image. No configuration for States, sadly. If you could set transitions, opacity, or layer position on those, it would be nice.
Anything I'm missing?
Without seeing the file it's hard to figure out what the issue may be. Did you check the order of your triggers? Here is an example of a matching game with 6 cards which are shuffled every time all 3 pairs are matched. I didn't use Javascript.
