We use VGA (640*440) screen and VGA-Standard Colours.
We use Arial 10 as standard font and Arial 12 bold for information on the doors.
Each door is an active object.
There are seven Positions and two modes for each door (highlighted and dark)
The way up is always at position 4. The names of the doors are: UpOn, UpOff, Down1On, Down1Off, Down2on, etc.. Down6Off
The information panel consists of the frame (Frame1, Frame2, Frame3, Frame4, for the different file-systems) and the content showing the place corresponding to the file system and the place: Content210 means the starting place, windows 95 style, on the way from home directory to the working directory. That means that in the encoding Contentxyz, x stands for the system, y for the way, z for the room-number.
The content of a room is shown in a interaction Icon.
Rooms are stacked recursively into each other. This would allow for later following a branching way instead of linear approach. Rooms respectively are named Roomyz, for instance Room10 for the starting room of way 1.
Usually content is a text to read.
