Interactive story example
This story was created with the help of two students, a digital camera and a bit of imagination. It shows how easy it is to create an interactive story with pictures and text using very limited resources. Of course, your own documents may also include spoken dialog (and other sounds) and can contain text in any of the languages supported by JWM, such as Japanese (ie. “ú–{Œê) - this example is in English simply to aid illustration.
There are hotspots on the arrow pictures at the bottom of each page - use these to progress through the story. Just move the mouse pointer over them and you will see it change shape.
The Pirate's Treasure
It was a beautiful, bright day with hardly a cloud in the sky. John and David sat on the patio and drank some delicious, icy cold lemonade that their mother had brought out to them. They had just returned home from their first day of school for the new year. The holidays were behind them now, but they had had such a good time visiting their grandfather who lived in a lovely, whitewashed cottage near the beach.
"Is Grandpa going to be OK, Susan? He looked a bit tired when we went to visit him", said John.
"It really depends on whether he can get that new medication that has just come out", said his mother. "The doctor thinks that it will help him a lot. If only we could afford it."
After the drink, Helen went back inside and John and David decided to play some football in their backyard. After playing a while, David kicked the ball to John, who attempted a magnificent catch that didn't quite come off. The ball bounced away and went under the house.
