Scratch Off Extension for App Inventor
The Scratch Extension adds interactive "scratch card" functionality to your App Inventor projects. This feature allows users to "scratch off" a surface on their screen to reveal what's underneath, similar to how lottery scratch cards work.
Features:
- Transform Components: Easily turn any
ViewGroupcomponent (like panels) into a scratchable area. - Customizable Scratch Effect: Adjust the size and color of the scratch brush to fit the style of your app.
- Background Image: Set a background image that will be revealed as users scratch the surface.
- Dynamic Control: Programmatically enable or disable scratching, allowing for flexible interaction within your app.
- Progress Tracking: The extension can report the percentage of the area scratched off, providing opportunities for games, reveals, and more.
How to Use:
-
Set Scratch Component: Designate a component in your app's layout to become scratchable.
-
Customize Appearance: Choose the color and width of the scratch effect to match your design.
-
Background Setup: Optionally set a background image that will be revealed through scratching.
-
Control Functionality: Enable or disable the scratch effect as needed through your app's logic.
-
Monitor Progress: Use events to get notified about the start, movement, and end of the scratching, as well as the overall progress.
