00:00:04.560 –> 00:00:06.720
Hi there, welcome back. In this clip
00:00:06.720 –> 00:00:08.960
we’re going to create a Pick the Winner
00:00:09.200 –> 00:00:11.600
block, or a Pick the Winner
00:00:11.600 –> 00:00:14.480
predictor Riddle. As you can see in this
00:00:14.480 –> 00:00:17.400
one here, your audience can pick a
00:00:17.400 –> 00:00:20.160
winner between two candidates or
00:00:20.160 –> 00:00:22.560
two teams. Let’s go into the creator to
00:00:22.560 –> 00:00:25.040
set this up. Click on Create Riddle,
00:00:25.440 –> 00:00:28.160
Predictor, and now Pick the Winner down
00:00:28.160 –> 00:00:30.280
here. And we now have a blank canvas to
00:00:30.280 –> 00:00:32.720
create our Pick the Winner block to suit
00:00:32.720 –> 00:00:35.480
us. First of all, our team names:
00:00:35.480 –> 00:00:38.240
Finland and Brazil.
00:00:44.640 –> 00:00:44.960
Oops.
00:00:47.520 –> 00:00:50.400
OK. And let’s also
00:00:50.720 –> 00:00:52.000
put that up here.
00:00:59.520 –> 00:01:01.960
You can always put the date if you
00:01:01.960 –> 00:01:04.480
want to, so that if it’s a series of
00:01:04.480 –> 00:01:06.640
games going on, like our use case here—
00:01:06.640 –> 00:01:08.880
we’re imagining it’s the World Cup—then
00:01:08.880 –> 00:01:11.520
you have the two teams and then the date
00:01:11.520 –> 00:01:14.480
for the game. My
00:01:14.720 –> 00:01:17.600
imaginary date in this
00:01:17.600 –> 00:01:20.560
case. So, so far,
00:01:20.800 –> 00:01:22.440
we’ve got that title here, we’ve got the
00:01:22.440 –> 00:01:24.720
team names. Now let’s add background
00:01:24.720 –> 00:01:27.440
images, logos, and change the
00:01:27.440 –> 00:01:29.840
colors. Let’s start with the logos.
00:01:31.120 –> 00:01:33.840
For Finland, I’m using my media
00:01:33.840 –> 00:01:36.360
library again. I’ve got the
00:01:36.360 –> 00:01:37.920
flags for each logo.
00:01:41.440 –> 00:01:44.360
OK. Now let’s add the
00:01:44.360 –> 00:01:46.960
background images. Click on
00:01:47.120 –> 00:01:49.760
that camera symbol, top
00:01:49.760 –> 00:01:50.160
right.
00:01:56.690 –> 00:01:59.370
And same on the other side.
00:02:03.440 –> 00:02:06.160
OK, now let’s change the background
00:02:06.160 –> 00:02:08.880
colors so that they reflect the flags
00:02:08.880 –> 00:02:10.960
themselves. You can see here I’ve got
00:02:10.960 –> 00:02:12.440
that sort of blue from the Finnish flag
00:02:12.440 –> 00:02:15.200
and the green from the Brazilian flag.
00:02:15.920 –> 00:02:17.840
I’ve picked out the hex code so that
00:02:17.840 –> 00:02:19.680
I can put the exact color I want in
00:02:19.680 –> 00:02:22.280
there. To do that, click on the
00:02:22.720 –> 00:02:23.520
paintbrush here.
00:02:26.080 –> 00:02:28.040
Now I’m going to copy and paste the
00:02:28.080 –> 00:02:29.680
hex code that I prepared
00:02:30.960 –> 00:02:32.920
into here. I want to
00:02:34.480 –> 00:02:36.960
adjust the transparency a little.
00:02:39.360 –> 00:02:42.240
Better. Same thing on this side.
00:02:49.510 –> 00:02:52.310
OK, great. I could change the text
00:02:52.310 –> 00:02:54.950
color if I wanted to, but I like it
00:02:54.950 –> 00:02:57.070
like this. Check the preview.
00:02:58.070 –> 00:03:00.800
Great. And something you can
00:03:00.800 –> 00:03:03.760
see that I’ve
00:03:04.000 –> 00:03:06.720
done is that
00:03:07.120 –> 00:03:09.520
here in this original, we’ve got the
00:03:09.520 –> 00:03:12.320
Draw button. Because of course you could
00:03:12.320 –> 00:03:14.560
have a winner or a loser in some
00:03:14.560 –> 00:03:16.240
games, but sometimes there’s also no
00:03:16.240 –> 00:03:18.080
winner. Then you’d want to click
00:03:18.080 –> 00:03:20.920
on Draw. But you can remove
00:03:20.920 –> 00:03:23.280
that for games where a
00:03:23.920 –> 00:03:25.760
draw isn’t possible. The way you do
00:03:25.760 –> 00:03:28.760
that is click on the
00:03:29.080 –> 00:03:29.840
options symbol.
00:03:34.000 –> 00:03:36.800
And I can enable—it’s
00:03:36.840 –> 00:03:38.800
enabled by default—I can enable or
00:03:38.800 –> 00:03:41.440
disable this tie option
00:03:41.440 –> 00:03:44.160
here. So,
00:03:44.400 –> 00:03:47.360
that depends on the game that
00:03:47.360 –> 00:03:50.040
you have ahead of you, and you can set
00:03:50.040 –> 00:03:52.080
that up for each Riddle individually.
00:03:53.120 –> 00:03:54.920
And we’re done. We have our Pick the
00:03:54.920 –> 00:03:57.360
Winner predictor. In the next clip, we
00:03:57.360 –> 00:03:59.600
will look at adding a form to our
00:03:59.600 –> 00:04:02.520
predictors. If you have
00:04:02.520 –> 00:04:04.000
any questions, feel free to write to us
00:04:04.000 –> 00:04:06.760
at academy@riddle.com or on our
00:04:06.760 –> 00:04:08.560
support chat on our website. I’ll see
00:04:08.560 –> 00:04:09.760
you in the next video.
