Memory Game - Storyline
Hey Everyone,
Here is memory game we just made with Articulate Storyline. Hope you guys will like it:
You may watch a preview with the following link:

I've also included the free font, so you can get the same layout.
I've used states. So if you want to create a new memory game for another genre, you only have to change the states of the 10 squares and you can ignore the long list of triggers.
If you have questions or you notice a problem, please let me know.
Kind regards,
Bastiaan Timmer

Really great job Bastiaan!
Did you consider using true/false state instead of all those numeric variables?Hi Mauro,
No, I did not consider True/False variables. I always use numeric variables
One of these variables "vCount" will be raised by one when you click on one of the images. I can't do this with true/false variables. So that's why I use numeric variables.Of course, variables are very flexible!
I was just trying to figure out a way to simplify the process... but in the end I always come to variables...Anyway, good job!
Variables are awesome! Thanks for your reply!
Great work my friend
1 Year old thread! Do like the game though and I'll certainly look through the variables here.
Thanks guys! If you have questions or need any further information, please let me know!
Bastiaan, it is a really great job!
Inspired with your idea I tried to improve the usability. The main issue was that "wrong" pair is not hided automatically until user clicks on another card. I think it would be more convenient if wrong pair is hided after 1-2 seconds.
To achieve such behavior I added a new layer that is actually empty, but it contains some triggers. For this layer I set the timeline length to 1 sec (or any other value of timeout you want).
I use the following variables:
- common counter for opened cards (vCount)
- counter for each of the pair (other variables with prefix v..)
- boolean variable for each of the pair which indicate that pair is found (with prefix b..)
The logic is quite clear.
When user clicks on any card the corresponding counter of the pair increments. The common counter is also incremented.
When the counter of particular pair is equal to 2 (two cards of the same type are opened) then its boolean flag is set to True - the pair is found.
When the common counter is equal to 2 (two new cards are opened) a new "fake" layer is triggered. It is automatically hided after timeline ends. When this layer hides all the cards and pair counters are reset to 0 if their boolean flag is not True.

Great Job Timur. This is a very nice aproach. Now we've got two great versions of the Memory game.
The logic of your version is clear. It never came up in my mind to hide these images automatically
