2 The project

We are going to create an adventrue around a Roman Villa by using “hyperlinks” between pages in j2e5 – this is how website links work – you make something on the page into a button that sends the viewer to another place when you click on it.  These “buttons” could be pictures, text or even invisible areas on the page.  Where you send them could be another part of that page, a different page or even to play a sound clip.

Here is a starter project – you could find more pictures and add more pages:

3 How to create an invisible link (eg for a doorway)

  1. Draw a rectangle or any shape
  2. Select it and untick “outline” and “fill”
  3. Place it on the doorway or where you want to click
  4. Make sure it is selected (blue square)
  5. Click “link”
  6. Type for example “#page 3”
  7. Make sure it is the correct page number!  Click “ok”
  8. “View” to test it

Ideas

  1. What’s the point of the game? Add an information box
    1. Include an instruction at the start
      1. Find the lost Roman necklace – leave clues…
      2. Find information about the Roman villa – have pop up info boxes using animate
  2. How to make an Information box appear
    1. Make an information box
    2. Select it then click “animate” (instead of “link”)
    3. Make it appear when it is clicked on or hovered over.
    4. Information box video
  3. Zoom into a picture
    1. Use the same picture but crop then enlarge to a detail
    2. Add something extra to the zoomed in page, eg a note, sign or clue
    3. Zoom into a picture video
  4. Include a sound
    1. Go to one of the garden pages
    2. Click on pictures then shared pictures
    3. Drag on the “calm garden” sound.
    4. Select it and tick: “autostart” and “loop”
    5. Send it to the bottom layer to hide.
    6. Add a sound – video instructions
  5. Record a sound 
    1. Click and “record sound”.  Record and save a sound.
    2. Add to page – you could set it to autostart or loop when the page is loaded.
    3. Or draw an invisible shape or select an picture
    4. Click “link” and “to sound” – “my sounds” and drag it into the box
    5. Record and link a sound video
  6. Website
