Digital Workshop

Hi,

I've got an idea for a language game where the student has to choose from a selection of words and match them to the picture. I've managed to do this by placing a picture on a page and various text boxes around the outside but this seems very long winded and I would like the people I give the game to, to be able to change the pictures and words.

Any ideas?

TIA

While many of the following posts use OpusScript, you may be able to implement similar capability with Opus standard triggers and actions ('Basic').

As for User adding own words, consider that as two steps: User typing in text input, and some way to Save the data off to storage whether .INI file, .txt file, Excel sheet, or database. (Array variables, especially if you can get into scripting, are very powerful ways to manage sets of data and also for doing the match-up to your image.)

Very generally, do some Searching here on forum:
try: input user
try: write file
try: database



Once you get beyond the concept and can better outline what you're wanting to achieve and where you're stuck, that will make it easier for me and others to respond with more specific help. One thing you'll find with OpuPro is that there are usually many ways to accomplish something, some direct and some very creative.

Good luck.

Hi Lar_123,

Thanks for the quick reply. I've had a read through the forum and found lots of interesting ideas. I also came across a multichoice game by a company called Interaktiv which does what I need to do but with words. I sent them an email and it seems adding a picture instead of a question is straightforward so I brought it. I can understand most of the code because it looks like Javascript. Do you know if it is because that would make things a lot easier? Anyway, I'm playing with this quiz today and will see what I can make it do.

Thanks again for the links, I'm sure I'll have more questions

Hi Kelly,

The two languages are similar as they are both based on the ECMA standard but Opus Script is more akin to version 1.2 of JavaScript and some of the later functionality is not directly available.
