Writing Word Game

Games
#1

Hi everyone thanks for the great forums that I can read and ask to get very knowledgeable feedback.
My friends ask me to create a game for helping kids to write words, before I start to create it, I’m trying to think the concept and all the logic part.
This is the example of the writing game: http://www.gudli.com/preschool/games/alphabet-writing.html

I will change the black dot with number so the kids also can read it.
The problem that I want to know is when I drag the line how can I detect each number is the right point so when I write the right sequence of number it will form the word.
If the kids start without looking through the sequence numbers it will result as wrong and the line will disappear so it will began from the beginning again.

Thanks renvis it’s really help me, I will try to make my writing game from ur code.
Are you working in the same company(technowand) with renjith?? [import]uid: 74725 topic_id: 13586 reply_id: 49866[/import]

hey Denni, was that you… I din’t notice your name…This is me itself I just changed my display name. :slight_smile: [import]uid: 71210 topic_id: 13586 reply_id: 49867[/import]
