Simple mode

When ADRIFT 5 is first installed it will be in simple mode.

This mode is designed to show only the main features of ADRIFT so that you can learn how to create locations for your game, add objects, create tasks to control what happens when the player types something, and add characters for them to interact with.

When the ADRIFT developer is in simple mode, much of the more advanced ADRIFT functionality is hidden from view, including:

• The Advanced tab-page of Tasks
• The properties tab-page of Locations
• The Advanced tab-page of Options
• The add Variable, Group, Property, Text override and Hint buttons on the main toolbar.

To switch to Advanced mode press the button on the main toolbar ribbon to open the Options page, then click on to remove the tick.
