Hangman – Part 2 – The Project and Explanations
I am currently a provider of technical training and support in the electronic manufacturing industry. My prior training and work experience as a teacher, network administrator, web design, and instructional design make me well prepared to design it, develop it, and deliver it. I am a father of five, a US Army veteran, and I enjoy playing the guitar as well as performing in local community theater.

This is the second part in this Hangman series.

Rather than type up all of the code and explain it in text, I thought I would record it.

For those of you who are truly interested – you can watch both videos for a little over 30 minutes of explanation of the game creation. One video for each slide.

For those who really don’t care about the explanations and just want to use the game – OK fine – I offer two things then.

  1. You can modify the onEnter Actions of slide 1 – which is JavaScript – if you follow the formatting carefully. This is where you can enter several default – or persistent words.
  2. You can modify the code – which is JavaScript – on the Validate button action. You should be able to find the password there. Change what you find between the two sets of double quotes for the variable  myPass  and make it your own.

This was created with Captivate 2019 version 11.5.0.476  so my apologies to those with older versions.

I give this freely to you to use at your discretion – and – while not required, I would certainly appreciate a shout out in the comments with a like if you download and plan to use it.

I started toying with the idea of a Memory style game. I currently have a total of 36 tiles to flip (18 pairs), and the ability to scramble the tiles to create a new game using the same thing on the flip side of the tiles.

Matched sets will fade away and increment a point while mismatches will flip back over and count against you. The goal would be to end up with the highest positive score.

I may rethink the scoring but that is what it is looking like at the moment.

In the end – one should only have to swap out the flip states of each tile to create a totally different game.

Great !!!… I hope we could change easily the number of tiles to make progressive versions of the game ?… The Captivate widget was not very good as the tiles were not fully mixed (always one above and one down)…

My memories in Flash : http://soutien67.free.fr/math/activites/memory/memory.htm

My memories with Captivate : http://soutien67.fr/math/activites/memory/memory.htm

Maybe you could insert a timing system ?

The flip system could be very nice also to make exercises like translation… discover results of calculations… I remember having seen a video from Paul Wilson with such a flipping system which was nice !…

Happy Captivate !…

Got it.

I sure hope someone is working to fix the community experience.

It does not make sense that one should have to switch to a different community in order to communicate with others in the same community.

I think it’s a big struggle having changed these platforms (here and the forums) and they are still at it, no doubt !… I just sent you another private message to give you the link of the hangmen I done with your awesome resources !… 😉
