Game Setup Modes
When editing a Drag-and-Drop game, there are four (4) unique setup modes:
Start
Start mode is the place to begin when adding a new Drag-and-Drop game page. This mode allows you to fill in or define the content of the game, whether the game page was made from one of Bloom’s pre-configured Game templates (such as Drag Sound to Word), or you are designing a custom game from scratch using the Custom Game template.
In the Start mode:
- The Game Tool presents four tools: Objects to Drag, Objects that do not Move, Theme, and Options. All of these four components are active.
- Game Objects can be selected, moved, resized, deleted, duplicated, and otherwise manipulated.
- The game’s Play Controls are disabled.
