CMY Mix Lab
An experiment in pushing Articulate Rise beyond fixed variables and linear flows. What this is The CMY Mix Lab is an interactive experiment built in Articulate Rise to explore what happens when you are no longer limited to a fixed set of variables. Unlike standard Rise blocks, and even compared to Storyline, this approach allows for a virtually unlimited number of variables and states within a single interaction. For this challenge, I wanted to build something that cannot be created in Rise in any other way. The mixer relies on continuously changing values, combinations, and outcomes rather than predefined slides, layers, or triggers. Everything happens inside one custom block, driven by logic. How it was made Full transparency: I’m not a programmer. This project was very much vibe coded. I built it by experimenting, tweaking values, breaking things, and fixing them again with the help of AI and a lot of curiosity. Working this way felt very different from building in Storyline or standard Rise blocks. Instead of defining all states upfront, the interaction reacts to whatever values the learner creates in the moment. That shift in thinking was a big part of the experiment. The challenge One of the biggest challenges has been (and still is) accessibility. Mouse interaction works well, but I do not have a stable, fully keyboard-accessible version to show you yet. Improving this is something I am actively working on and continuing to refine. This challenge is also part of what makes the project interesting to me. It clearly shows both what Rise can already do and where its current limits are, especially when you start working with many dynamic variables. Why this build This build is not about delivering a perfect or finished solution. It is about exploring possibilities, learning by doing, and testing how far you can push Rise without relying on Storyline or predefined interaction patterns. If this experiment inspires other Rise users to think differently about variables, logic, or custom code, then it has done exactly what I hoped it would do. Vote If you like this experiment or find the idea behind it interesting, I’d really appreciate your vote. https://share.articulate.com/aWvCo417oehOA2FTwbHLA Oh... one last thing! Try mixing with "white". You'll be surprised. :D
