Some of them load after 30 sec to a minute, and some never seem to load. I'm on Firefox.

I have seen 3 or 4 now. But maybe some are not games? Do some of the examples show other ways to use the extension, besides games? http://xia.dane.ac-versailles.fr/demo/m ... index.html looks like it shows the life cycle of a butterfly. It seems more informative, than a game. But maybe the language barrier keeps me from figuring out the game.

I like this

Does it need to be installed like other Inkscape extensions (AppData/Roaming/Inkscape/extensions)? (I'm on Windows 7.) Or does it need its own directory outside of Inkscape?

ok. But it is quite a long time in fact.

you are right. I have put the focus on games productions but you can do interactive images. You choose a picture and want to focus on details (and add comments on such details).

brynn wrote:I like this http://xia.dane.ac-versailles.fr/demo/kiki/index.html, could make a hidden objects game. Although I would make the items much harder to find, using Inkscape, and perhaps imported photos or raster images. The sliding puzzle pieces/bunny in a maze game....I can't quite understand how to use the steps in the tutorial, to make the sliding pieces, but after some study, maybe I'll learn.

Well, the first game "kiki" is built using a xia template called "game1clic". Clicking on details update a score and when this score reaches a max-score you defined, a popup appears to congratz. The second game "bunny" is built using another xia template called "gameDragAndDrop". this time, moving a detail on a "drop area" increases the score. Creating games is more difficult than creating interactive images. To summarize a gamedraganddrop creation :
1. Open a background image in inkscape (the maze, a lanscape...)
2. Import images which will be the draggable details
3. Draw shapes to define "drop areas" (circles, squares ...)
4. In draggable details description field, specify their "drop area" like this :
5. The max-score is defined in the background description field : (meaning you have to drag and drop 3 details in the right places)
6. Export your work choosing "gamedraganddrop" theme in xia extension.

yes. XIA will transform links in clickable links (with a small wiki syntax). For instance, if you want to link with a new resource located here : http://xia.dane.ac-versailles.fr/demi/lapin, in the background description, just add this :

ok, I just check why.

here is the dino svg file to show you how is working the gamedraganddrop. (game logic is located in objects descriptions) :

Well., XIA is an inkscape extension with a graphical interface based on tkinter. So, for windows and os x, the installer we made available will override the python version of inkscape to add this graphical lib. The installer will install xia in C:/Program Files/Inkscape/extensions/

I know it has already been discussed here to embed graphical lib in the inkscape python version and, if I remember, the core team refused to do such a thing. XIA is an inkscape extension able to access directories and files on the system.

Well I don't understand

And I probably don't need to. But

is fabulous!

I can't wait to start a simple project, but have a couple other priorities to handle, before I can.

Anyway, thanks again for this, and I will definitely have some feedback, once I get into it

PS - You may want to consider uploading to Inkscape website? https://inkscape.org/en/download/addons/

Hhmm....I'm not sure the significance of this. Of course I routinely scan all files that I download from the internet, as everyone should, for security issues. I'm not sure if this is exactly a security issue, but maybe something you want to know about. I have not tried to install it yet.

Spybot S&D (dinosaur, I know) and (more currrent) Malwarebytes Anti-Malware report no issues.

ok. Thanks for this report. I will have a look at innosetup issues. If you want to have a look at source code, everything is under GPLv3.

Hello,
Seems very promising. At some moment I have to try it.

Related with that I have a question.

Hypotetical case:
