In this stage, our goal is to work collaboratively and create a
virtual encyclopedia [emoji4]
You are requested to work in pairs and insert information into
Choico. At this stage you have the opportunity to practise your
coding skills!
Once you've been noticed by me on the " Teamwork-must read
before you start!" Topic which is in the same Board, please
follow the steps below:
1. Follow the link
HTML https://www.mediafire.com/file/wzs1nj9hwnynq91/WeBroughtItAtLast!.zip/file<br
/> and download the file.
2. Follow the link:
HTML http://etl.ppp.uoa.gr/choico/
3. Choose"play game" > "open game" and select the file that you
downloaded from mediafire in order to open the game.
4. Start interacting with the software by reading the
instuctions (in the green pop-up window) and click "Let's
play!". As you can see, you will come up to the same map again,
but with different countries! Your task is to insert points of
interest - including a brief description - for the country of
your choice.
5. Choose the console icon called "Edit Game". You will come
across a screen which includes four tabs. On the "Game
Interface" tab you will find the map on the left and a board
consisting of countries' names, flags, descriptions and stats.
[attachimg=4]
6. At first, you have to insert a brief description for the
country you wish to modify.
Then, you have to enter the stamina and budget stats of the
particular country. The numbers to be place are up to you.
However, they should be negative (as stamina and budget is spent
while travelling to a country ;) ). You have to do the same as
far as the return from that country is concerned.
In order to add points of interest, choose from the button that
the green arrow shows the map of the selected country.
[attachimg=1]
7. After you have entered the country's map, you may add points
of interest by clicking the button shown by the blue arrow. You
can drag the point wherever you like on the map, as shown by the
orange arrow (it would be preferable if you tried to find real
locations of the points).
Once you've placed the point, on the right you will find it
listed on the board, where you have to name it, upload a picture
of it, write a brief description about it and edit its stats
(don't forget that budget and stamina have to be negative, while
culture, fun and nature have to positive).
[attachimg=2]
8. On top select the "Gameplay Rules" tab, as shown by the
yellow arrow. Using the actions provided by the software (light
blue arrow), you may add sound, youtube video links or even a
text about the point of interest you're editing as shown by the
red arrow. It's like entry level programming and I hope you can
manage it up to a point without it being cumpulsory though.
[attachimg=3]
9. After finishing with you edits click the disk button on the
top right corner in order to save your progress. Save the file
and right after please upload it on the Topic of your team. Once
you do that I will re upload it for the next team!
Important notice:
Once you've finished please let me know in this thread.

Stamina and Budget are negative because that's what you spend!
As far as the points are concerned, I guess you inserted more
than one. Please pay attention to step 7 and the green arrow.
Once you insert a point, a new bracket appears. Whenever you
insert a point, scroll down to see how many brackets appear. If
there are more, this means that the point was duplicated so you
have to to delete the extra ones!
I hope this will help.

It is highly recommended that you insert three points of
interest. Of course, you can include more!
