Plinko game ideas
Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone has built a Plinko-type game in Storyline. This is Plinko: Plinko | The Price Is Right Wiki | Fandom
The idea is there would be a board and a ball would be dropped ...
I wanted to try out matter.js, so I cobbled together this basic demo of Plinko on a Storyline slide. This uses a web object to display the Plinko board. You can click at the top to drop chips and watch them fall. when they reach the final bin, the count is updated on the slide. You can therefore detect which bin gets the chip and trigger a question in Storyline accordingly.
The web object contains all the code, and it is included in the attachment (not a coder, so forgive the hodgepodge approach). As long as it is hosted on the same site as your Storyline files, you can communicate with the player and its variables.
Try it here:

The code needs some refinement of course, such as preventing multiple collision counts for a single chip.
Ooooh! This is a GOOD ONE (Nathaniel's matter.js option)! I need to look into matter.js more. I am just learning more about Java, so this will be a good brain stretch for me! :) Thank you for sharing this sample with us! I love it!!! :)
Wow, this is awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your efforts! I'll be taking a deeper dive into this and seeing if I can make it work for what we need. If not, I'm sure plenty of people will appreciate this head start. Thanks again!!
Very cool!
