Probably this could be just:

What i have implemented is very similar, There is that "instructions" button. After a click appears a big text window with the instructions. First i will upload it and after your approval i will make this to be default options by adding a checkbox to the original task selection which will tell if the screen will be shown by default or not.

..That sounds good. Btw, are you using "your own" text window, or the OpenDS text-overlay? (might be interesting to investigate the use of the ods' version)

What they do is write lot of labels on a panel and create text like that (lot of xml editing). What i do is make listBox element and fill it with text automatically from a file.

Ok, yours is better! :+1: Then I'd suggest refactoring what we have in TextDistractionController and make it useful also for #23 : 

package cz.cvut.utils;

enum EXIT_STATEGY = {CONFIRM, TIMEOUT, TEXT_INPUT} // will add handler& show for OK button/ timeout in milli sec/ text-form 
class OnScreenWindow(int width, height, exitStrategy, buttonText="OK", timeoutMs=2000, answerString=null);
 void show(); //will guess optimal values
 void show(int posX, posY);

class TextShow(String message) : OnScreenWindow; //takes text to display in constructor, computes optimal sizes w&h
class FileShow(String pathToFile): TextShow //reads content from TXT file
class ImageShow(String pathToImage): OnScreenWindow //shows image

(later we'll implement playSound and rewards are almost done! ;) )

@JohnnyMarek The instructions still don;t show up, the button seems to do nothing, game compiles and runs. No new err message..
