Description
With the Memory Game widget you can easily create a simple memory game that the end user can play to find & match pairs of equal images.
Creating a memory game is really simple, just drag it from the Objects panel to the stage, position it on your page, then drag the images you want to include.
For each image added to the widget, PubCoder will actually add a pair of cards to the game: on the stage, only one of it will appear flipped, for previewing purposes, while of course the game will start with every card flipped for the end user:
Double click on the memory game placeholder on stage to edit the list of images, or use the selection inspector to edit generic settings.
