Always Save!!


Save Every 5 Minutes!

At least save every 5 minutes. That's one of those things you hear in school and you do it usually, but you always end up forgetting when you are really into working on something, you have this stride that you feel as though you cannot break it and if you save it will mess up your workflow because that one second of you saving takes too much time. Taking that time to save every few minutes will save you a lot more time especially with some of the quirks of Klik & Play.

Make Invisible!

When dealing with a lot of question boxes in Klik & Play I typically try to move a bunch of them off of the screen in order to see what the background and art look like and to reduce clutter. It is also easy to keep them expanded so I can read what the question and different answers are. If you "Play Level As Finished" with any question boxes expanded it expects for the player to be able to choose an answer. However, if any question boxes are hidden on the work-space the user will not be able to click on them. For some reason the program won't let you close the window or the game play until you answer a question, so you basically freeze the program.
Before you run the game, remember to save! Also, before you run your game, remember to make questions invisible unless you want them to run as soon as the game starts.

Duplication Error?

Also, there is this glitch that does not allow me to click on different active objects. I could not click on a hamburger to delete it and every time I clicked on the background it made more hamburgers that I could not delete. I do not think I had any keys pressed down.
