'Cup and Ball' game using sliders with dynamic Z-index control
Hahahah Jonathan_Hill I'm absolutely cracking up at the storytelling behind this (and also craving potato chips, thanks for that).
Love this expansion on the sliders-as-drag-and-drop-workaround. Something that keeps kicking around in my brain: imagine if the sliders moved in multiple directions, not just left to right but up & down! Then you could create a grid 🤔
Yeah, I find the narrative around AI a little negative and who doesn't love chips (in both the UK and US sense.) The story helps sell what is otherwise a pointless exercise with zero educational value.
That's what the naysayers on LinkedIn will likely say if I ever share this there. But I'm convinced if we can find a fully accessible alternative to drag-and-drop, that also preserves what makes drag-and-drop so tactile and fun, we'll be onto a winner.
Haha yes I see the drag and drop slider example as having perhaps a bit more clear educational applications, but I agree with you that in general something tactile like this really does give an edge to what it feels like for a learner to engage with interactive content. Applauding your progress on this and excited to chat with you next week.
