Hi everybody!
I am thinking of having a computer running the games we make in the classroom in kiosk mode. However, I’ve noticed that once the game is finished, kiosk will show a game over screen with the option to try again or go to the menu, but it doesn’t specify if the game was won or lost, skipping the animation and You Win!/Game Over message. Is these an easy way to keep the message so players can know if they won?
Thanks!
Hi Adri314,
Thank you for asking this! I just released something for kiosk that isn’t exactly what you’re asking for but might be helpful in cases where the user-uploaded games have scores. For games that use our score block and game over block, those scores will now be received by kiosk for user-added games.
Here is an example of the blocks that you’d want to use (set score and game over):
If a user gets a non-zero score, that score will show up in the high score list as long as it is within the top ten scores.
I know this doesn’t completely resolve this issue, but I hope it helps a bit!
I’ve opened an issue for your request here: https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-arcade/issues/6477. I’m not sure when it will get resolved as we are working on other workstreams currently, but I wanted to link it here in case you wanted to monitor it for future updates.
Thanks so much for your reply and help with this. It is much appreciated.
