Abstract
A method for creating a multimedia experience is disclosed. The method includes defining a first cell, defining a first branch selectively associated with the first cell, and defining a second branch selectively associated with the first cell. The method further includes associating a variable with the first cell that is configured to identify one of the first and second branches. The method further includes defining a second cell, associating the second cell to the first cell such that the variable is reflected in the second cell, and generating copies of the first and second branches in response to the association of the variable to the second cell.
Claims10
A method for supporting the creation of a multimedia experience, the method comprising:
- generating a flowchart representative of a multimedia experience including:
- defining a first cell,
- defining a first branch having a first value, wherein the first branch is associated with the first cell,
- defining a second branch having a second value, wherein the second branch is associated with the first cell,
- associating a user-identified variable with the first cell wherein the user-identified variable is associated with the first and second values,
- defining a second cell,
- associating the second cell to the user-identified variable, and
- generating automatically a third branch and a fourth branch associated with the second cell based on an association of the second cell to the user-identified variable such that one of a group consisting of the third and fourth branches reflects the first value, and the other of the group consisting of the third and fourth branches reflects the second value;
- and
- providing logic configured to prevent the creation of duplicate branches during a synchronization operation.
