Hi,

@OptOut

Any general advice or suggestions in getting started?

Some ideas :

• If you want to do something every x seconds, you are going to need a way to measure time pretty much like a counter. You can take a look at a previous answer I gave here :

A timer which activates by pressing a button

Hi, You were right, you need to use the millis() function. It’s true that it’s counting the number of milliseconds from the beginning of the execution but if we store that value when we press a button, it’s the same as taking the current time. Think of it as a watch. If you want to measure the duration of an event, you look at the time on your watch then wait until the end of the event. At that time, you look at your watch and compute the difference in time. Here is an example : // The durat…

• For the display part, if you want your code to be modular, for example be able to add, swap and remove steps from your story and have text/images to appear, you are going to need to store them inside a list or some iterable data structure.

  A pseudo code would be (using JS objects) :

  const steps = [
    {text: "In a galaxy far, far away..."},
    {image: "image_1.png"},
    {blank: true},
    {text: "Yoda is cool", image: "yoda.png"},
    // ...
  ];
  

Have fun!
