Making a Variable

• Add a variables on the "Lesson" tab in the right column
  • "" for strings
  • Nothing for numbers
• CASE SENSITIVE, DON'T USE SPACES

• Then when you are in your lesson, the default of those variables will be set and can be seen in the inspector.

Referencing a variable in the lesson

• Use this text: {variables.[name of the variable]}

  • It can be used in feedback, text boxes, etc.

• Example:

Mutating a variable

• On the left use variables.[name of the variable]
• One the right, find what you want the variable updated to. Like: stage.{source of new text}
  • Example: {stage.inputText.text}
  • {} are critical for the string!
