Variables

Variables are values that you can set and then alter with actions in order to control various aspects of your projects. For example, if you want to create a quiz, you can store the answers as variables. Or if you want a button to perform an action after being pressed a certain number of times, you can store the number of times it has been pressed as a variable.

There are four types of variables:

• Integer: whole numbers, positive and negative
• Real: real numbers (fractions allowed)
• String: strings of text
• Color: color value (hexadecimal)

Variables can be made through the Variable Settings dialog box. There you can create and delete variables, as well as see a list of all the variables in your project. For more information, see the documents in this section.
