🦸🏻‍♂️X-ray vision in Koala Go Playgrounds

Another superpower exposed!!

I was busy building a new playground template for student testing in Stories and decided to try out some of my new ideas for sticky notes.

A problem arose as I was trying to figure out how I would make the template easy to edit, or even possible to edit.

The solution was an “easy” one I just needed to be able to see through the sticky notes and not move them, since that becomes tedious.

I had noticed something before… while placing walls over sticky notes…

And there you have it, X-ray vision. That transparent mode when you are placing blocks seems to ignore sticky notes.

After I see what I need to see, I use the fabulous undo button to remove the new unwanted blocks. Much easier than moving 5 sticky notes (in this case) and then carefully placing them back exactly where they were.

I will show more of this project as it develops. It’s going to be weird…
