Pause a simulation to wait for input from Webdialog?

[mptak]

Does anyone have any insight into how to pause and then restart a simulation from inside of Ruby. Specifically I would like to pause the simulation and then get input from a webdialog. As usual all help is greatly appreciated. I am trying to gamify some knowledge quizzing for my kids and this appears to be the last piece which will make them earn the right to attempt the sketchy physics throw into the Bozo buckets.

Ya that's not too difficult, I'll whip up something just need to do some tests because these SP manipulations can quickly crash SU.

BTW, do you have an existing HTML for the quizzes so I can link things directly to that?

[Mr.K.1]

Alright I put a little something together, took a small racing game and added question checkpoints.

The important bits here are the yellow boxes, the small one has the HTML code and questions and the long ones are checkpoints that will pop up a webdialog and pause SP.

@@questions = [["4+5+10*0 = ","9"],["Banana color","yellow"], ["The cake is a...", "lie"]]
(small box)Here you can put in any question and result combo

And on checkpoints(long boxes) edit the question=0 part to determine which question will be displayed from the @@questions array, the count starts at 0.

Its on "my list" but I don't at present. I am trying to dive into jsquery, ruby, and python simultaneously
so I can force feed my kids (and students) some basic information like balls fall down, the stock market doesn't
"always" go up and humpty dumpty was pushed. (Insert your own facts here). I'm trying to take advantage of what they are doing out on http://www.khanacademy.org in terms of designing everything into HTML and jsQuery enhanced pages. Thanks heaps...the multi user/multi file input stuff was really dug by my students....I think I caught them NOT looking at their facebook pages for at least 5 minutes(:))

Works like a charm! As always I am enthusiastically grateful!
