It is designed to allow the creation of complex scenarios, by building a project with many Scenario pages, each page representing one scene or situation in the scenario. Each scene can have props in it. Both props and scene can have actions associated with them. Actions can have conditions that define when they are available and have outcomes that define what happens when an action is taken. Outcomes range from incrementing or decrementing one of three available scores, to changing the state of props (Carried, hidden, dropped etc), to being taken to a different scenario page. Scores have maximum and minimum values each of which if required can trigger an "end of scenario" situation with display of the appropriate messaging.<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'>The connector pages open up a tremendous amount of potential.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'>Kind regards<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'>Johnathan<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'>On 21 March 2012 00:30, KnowledgeWare <<a href="mailto:knowledgeware@kccsoft.com">knowledgeware@kccsoft.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0cm'><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:36.0pt'><span lang=EN-CA style='color:#1F497D'>Hello Jonathan:</span><span lang=EN-CA><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:36.0pt'><span lang=EN-CA style='color:#1F497D'> </span><span lang=EN-CA><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:36.0pt'><span lang=EN-CA style='color:#1F497D'>Re your post: “There will also be available seven new connector pages which will allow authors to design non-linear projects.”</span><span lang=EN-CA><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:36.0pt'><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><span lang=EN-CA><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:36.0pt'><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Sorry, I haven’t been able to follow the list closely for the past several weeks…by ‘connector pages’ do you mean basically a ‘menu’?
