VHF Marine Radio Simulator - Challenge #372 Button Sets
Here's an example of a VHF Marine Radio simulator using buttons, toggles, and variables with Storyline 360. https://360.articulate.com/review/content/44f79366-3685-4bc3-997e-85000c72bb09/review
Hi Bob. This does an excellent job of feeling like you're actually using the radio. And I love how the Help section has advice on what you need to do next if you get stuck.
Are there any tips you'd share about how best to plan out and build a tech simulation like this?
Yes Bianca, creating a storyboard was key for mapping out the master slides (3), slides (22), layers, states, and project variables required to perform all the radio functions. Then build, test, and trail different ways of achieving the desired outcome most effectively. I observed that the simulator seemed to perform/load faster when using states for sequencing through a radio function compared to building layers on a slide to complete the same sequence. Any idea if that was a correct assumption?
Hi Bob. I'm not certain if that would always be the case in other projects, but if states performed faster for you in this particular project than layers did, then using states makes a lot of sense.
