Digital Workshop

I am trying to create simple program for my special needs pupils:

A sentence is displayed complete - then a word is deleted randomly so the sentence is displayed with an underlined space at the correct point.
I can manage the variable for selecting the random word but can't figure out how to display the sentence with this word missing.
Any ideas?
Many thanks

Hi,

Could you tell us more?

What version of Opus do you have? Do you understand scripting at all

Are you familiar with scripting?
This is how I would tackle this myself.

1). Read in the sentence, this can be typed in from an imput box, or read in from a file/variable etc.

2). Assign this to an array item so that each full word can be accessed from the array via positional element example...

sentence: Stephen Fry pieces together his family's fascinating history.
array index: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

3). From the array object, you will know the number of "words" in the sentence and via script you can get a random value (within the range of the elements in the array) and hide that word from the string.

4). Reconstruct the sentence from the array elements replacing the element index in 3). above with a blank line...

5). Can now use the input from the student to see if it matches with the item hidden.

You really don't need to complicate matters with scripting - honest!

See the attached example for an actions based example that wouldn't be too hard to extend.
