In this section, we will convert the encoderDemo_800.cptx
Demonstration into a Simulation. Remember that when viewing a Demonstration, the student is passive and only watches whatever happens on the screen. When viewing a Simulation however, the student is active and has to do things.
Now, as far as objects are concerned, the difference between a Demonstration and a Simulation is to be found elsewhere. The object associated with a Demonstration is the Mouse object. Remember that the Mouse object lets us show the mouse on the screen and controls its movements. In order to convert the Demonstration to a Simulation, we'll have to remove the mouse from the project.
Hiding the mouse is one thing, but we'll have to replace it with something else. If we think about it, there are two kinds of actions that we need to be able to simulate, and that's why Captivate provides two interactive objects to let us replace the mouse in a Simulation. The first object is the Click Box...
