Thanks for the input guys. Apt cloud, I have visited there and downloaded tons of levelsets. That is what started my thinking about the educational potential of RnD. Also, I did a lot of searching for possible levelsets like this before I posted to this forum. Jannik, I agree with what you are sayin...

Thank you asiekierka, I will keep that in mind. I have a created a few basic ones, just to get started. I hope to have a small levelset out later today. My goal is to have something that I can try with my students tomorrow.

Thank you,

I followed what you said Holger, but I haven't some trouble implementing it. I'm sure if I am interpreting it incorrectly and/or I am missing something. If I have CE1 with a value of 0 and CE2 with a non 0 value (ie 7). On the change page, CE2 gets value of CE1 when touching CE1. Then on the second ...

CE Change Page Question - Target/Tigger

Near the bottom on the change page of a custom element, you can choose 'set ce value' in the drop down. When you do, the right drop down will be populated with options. One of them is [CE Value] Tigger and [CE Value] Target. What is this referring to? How does it work?

Thank you,
Cal

Hey Jannik,

Thank you, although you lost me on parts. I'm not sure on how to use CE value or how to have an action happen based on a CE value reaching another value. Any insight into this or a link to a tutorial would be great..

I added a couple more levels to the above zip. I could not figure out how to get the answers to be randomly placed. I ended up using a group element to place them. Also, I think it would be good for the answers to be a different color than the problems or solved problems. I did see something about c...

Thank you Francesco. I took a look at your introduction to CE programming. After perusing it, I was able to build a couple of levels that worked like I thought they should. You can download them from http://www.mrhardage.com/rnd/MathMan.zip . A few thoughts : I thought about having the problem explo...

I am a Computer Teacher for Pre-Kindergarten (4 years old) thru 2nd Grade (~7-8 years old). While I i...
