Hi Richard, thanks for sharing. I am pretty new at articulate and am creating a similar project. (Wish I would have found your download a week ago!) Sorry for the probably glaringly easy question. But I can't figure out how you programmed the game so the users can only choose 2 squares at a time. I don't understand how the lower case variables come into play, so I don't know if that's the answer. Any help is appreciated!
I have a variable counter setup so every time a frame is clicked I add to the counter. At the third click (if the first 2 clicks don't produce a match) I go to the Third click layer which is really a reset all frames to their normal state. The counter is reset and the whole process starts over.
I also have a variable created for each frame. Row 1 = A1 to A4 Row 2 = B1 to B4 etc..
A T/F trigger is setup up so that when you pick a frame it goes T. I also check at that time to see if you have picked the matching frame. For example, A1 and A3 must be selected (True) to go that layer which gives you the checkmark state.
Hope that makes sense.
Hi Richard, sincere thanks for sharing this as it cut my dev time dramatically and really given me a jump into Storyline after working with Captivate for years. One challenge I am having, I've been trying to figure out a way to reset the selected items after an incorrect selection. If I select A1 and then B1, they are not a match and they remain till I make another selection. I now know A1 and A3 are a match but I cannot reselect A1 as it is still visable. I can select A3 which clears the previous selection and then select A1 so mechanisims other then a clear work. I'm sure there is more then one way to do this, I thought about using a timer to reset but I'm new to Storyline. Any suggestion on best way to reset just the incorrect selections prior to going after another pair? Any help woul... Expand

You may noticed I've setup a reset after the third click. It is possible to do this after the second click (if there is not a correct match) but would take a bit of trigger reassignment. I would adjust the reset timeline to about 2 sec and then have reset done at the end of the timeline. This would allow the two images to appear for 2 sec before resetting. Let me look at this to see if I can do this without a lot of effort.
Hi Richard! I love this and have adapted for something I'm getting out to our team but I've run into a problem I haven't been able to figure out. I want to deploy a module where the matching game is done first, followed by info slides on the course subject, and then the learner has a chance to repeat the matching game. I have the game slide done but when I copy it to the end of the module or import it to the module, the second pass at the matching game immediately checkmarks both the box that is clicked and its match. Any tips on what I'm doing wrong?
Hello Richard, thank you very much for sharing. I am pretty novice and I have to see how things work.
However, I try to integrate this game but I get always an error when trying to publish. Moreover, I cannot see the elements (excepting the frames) even if I can see them in the timeline. Can you imagine what is going on?
Hi Richard,
I actually referred to your package and implicated the working, but i m facing two problems. One, the hint works but the assets are not getting reset and two Hint 2 is not subtracting 10 points from the total.
Could you help. i can send u the package if needed...
This was meant as a sample where people can use and customizes and the hint 2 does seem to work but again I haven't done any exhaustive testing. If I had to do this over again I would make many changes.
