Player settings control what learners see and can do while they play a simulation — for example choice numbers, the progress bar or the emotion meter. Open them with the Settings icon (gears) in the editor's left bar. Changes save automatically; there is no Save button.
The Settings panel ("Configure your simulation features"), opened with the highlighted gears icon in the left bar. It lists Enable Ratings & Feedback, Enable multiple scoring, Randomize choice order, Emotion meter, Choice numbers, Show progress bar, Show replay button and Animations in the player, each with a description and a tick. On the right is the player preview.
Player settings
All settings are on by default, except Randomize choice order.
Randomize choice order — shows the choices in a random order each time a scene loads. It doesn't change the order you see in the editor.
Emotion meter — shows the emotion you set for each scene, as text and icons. It appears only in scenes with a character, and it doesn't react to the learner's choices.
Choice numbers — shows numbers next to the choices. Learners can pick a choice with the number keys even when the numbers are hidden. You can change the color of the numbers in Brand your simulation.
Show progress bar — shows how close the learner is to the end of the simulation.
Show replay button — shows a button at the end that restarts the whole simulation.
Animations in the player — smooth transitions between scenes. If your learners use Citrix or other remote-desktop software, animations can look choppy; turn this off to make transitions instant.
Other settings in the same panel
Enable Ratings & Feedback (on by default) — learners can rate the simulation at the end. See Ratings & Feedback.
Enable multiple scoring — score learners on several skills at once. See Multiple Scoring.
