Missing indicator of what to do next in hour of code skillmap #5125

Open kimprice opened 2 years ago

kimprice commented 2 years ago

Should we add some instruction in the right pane to click on the puzzle piece to begin the skillmap? The way it is now my first instinct is to click on the learning outcomes, which is probably not what most users are interested in. It looks like this is the way all the skillmaps are set up, so maybe it is obvious enough already. Do we have any validation from user studies?

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to https://arcade.makecode.com/hour-of-code-2022
  2. Click on the Whack-the-Mole activity
  3. See summary of the activity but no indicator of what to do next.

Expected behavior I expect some indicator or instruction of what to do next within the right panel.

I've added the text in the side, but we really should do one of two things:

1) Allow formatting of the text (or at least newlines) so it doesn't all blur together 2) Add a persistent "Start" button that will automatically start the first available unlocked level
