How to Use a Generic Slide Projector

Generic Slide Projectors present prepared text in the text-side of the MOO.  For a text-only MOO, Slide Projectors are handy tools for presenting papers or information to an audience; however, in the enCore Xpress environment they don’t have as much use.  Still, you may find them useful to create a presentation that involves both text and web slides.

Instructions and Information on Specific Verbs (Commands)

Using the Encore Object Editor

From within the enCore Object Editor (whether as you create the Note or as you seek to edit it), you can create the Slide Projector and describe it, but you cannot prepare the slides.  You must prepare these bits of text through the note editor in the text side of the MOO.


Using Specific Verb Commands

show <#> on <slide projector name>
Example: show 1 on Slide Projector
This command will display the slide to everyone in the room.

review <#> on <slide projector name>
Example: review 5 on Slide Projector
Shows only you slide number 5. No one else in the room will see the slide.


To create new slides:

First, erase old slides:
@set <projectorname>.s1 to {}      
This command will set the contents of slide 1 to nothing, essentially erasing it.  The slide projector comes with tutorial and explanation information preprogrammed, so it is necessary to erase these slides (I believe there are six preprogrammed).

Next, create your new slide (Follow the sequence and text commands exactly as outlined below).

                        Type:    @notedit <projectorname>.s1

                                    enter

                                                < text >

                                                < text >

                                    .

                                    save

                                    q

You can create up to ten slides, and each slide can display up to 22 lines of text. It is recommended that you prepare the text for your slides first, and then copy and paste it into the MOO as you create the slides.
