How to assemble a Tap the Object game
As an example, let’s take a simple scenario with two choices: one correct and one wrong.
Select the 'Answer button' object from the toolbar. Once added, the smart inspector called 'Answer button properties' will open.
In the Object Image field assign an image.
Check the 'Is correct' checkbox to assign the correct answer to the 'Answer button' object.
In order to complete, assign a Feedback Image.
Assign an audio to the correct answer.
Repeat the same procedure for the wrong answer, leaving the 'Is correct' field unchecked and not assigning a 'Feedback image'.
At the end, the configuration in the Smart Inspector for the two 'Answer buttons' will be as follows:
By opening the ‘Game settings’ inspector you can assign a ‘Correct answer audio’ and a ‘Wrong answer audio’.
Opening the scene settings inspector, we set an audio in the 'Game completed audio' field and a 'Game completed image', which will appear when the game is complete.
An object has been added as a background image, so we leave the default color, white.
Set a completion audio and an image that will appear in the center of the screen upon completion of the game.
Set the completion delay to 0 and select 'Go to scene' from the 'On completed game' drop-down menu. Let's set 'PAGE completed' as the target scene.
Let’s set ‘On Error’ to ‘Game Over’.
The final result will be the following:
