Tap to Reveal

The Tap to Reveal template is a JPEG/APNG based template, which requires no video for its background. It offers up to six items which you can reveal/interact with as a user, with the possibility of adding a result screen at the end of your set number of interactions.

You can find simplified versions of this template in the following:

This template can be used for almost any length of experience to create both playable ads and interactive end cards (IECs). It’s a great template if you want to create specific dynamics that highlight your game assets, such as a hidden object, adding an object, and uncovering an object.

The specific fields which are provided with the Tap To Reveal template are listed below.

Static Content ​

Field

Type/Options

Details

Elements count

Slider (Which changes the values from 1 to 6)

Set how many elements you want in your experience.

Taps to result screen

Slider (Which changes the values from 1 to 6)

Set how many taps the user must do for the result screen to appear.

Locked Landscape Positions

On or Off

This On option will anchor your choices to the image, so you only have to create one experience that will work for both portrait and landscape.

The Off option means you have to set a background image for both portrait and landscape, so you have the freedom to create separate experiences .

Image

Image file (.png, .jpg, .jpeg, etc.)

This image will stay the same in both portrait and landscape, meaning that is locked in both positions and you do not need to create

Image Anchor (Default and Landscape)

  • Top Left

  • Top Middle

  • Top Right

  • Middle

  • Middle Left

  • Middle Right

  • Bottom Left

  • Bottom Middle

  • Bottom Right

As a single image needs to support multiple resolutions, the anchor control can be used to define how your image scales. For example, if your image has some important elements at the top of the screen, you may which to choose the Top Middle.

Image Fit/Fill (Default and Landscape)

  • Fit (0): The image will maintain its aspect ratio and scale to fit in 100% of the smallest dimension (width or height) depending on the resolution.

  • Fill (1): The image will maintain its aspect ratio and scale to fit in 100% of both the width height of any resolution.

The image fit/fill control is a range from 0-1. You can change your value between 0 and 1 to find the best fit for your game. We recommend using this feature in conjunction with the video anchor settings.

Image Filler

  • No filler: No blur applied, background will remain black.

  • Blurred frame: the image will be blurred and layered behind.

The image filler option allows you to fill these areas with a blurred background, using the original image as the content.

Background Image (Default and Landscape)

Image file (.png, .jpg, .jpeg, etc.)

The image option allows you to fill these areas with a specific image background, specifically for portrait and landscape

Background Image Scaling (Default and Landscape)

  • Keep aspect, fill: Retains the image's aspect ratio and expands it to fill the screen. This may cause clipping, but will render the image large.

  • Keep aspect, fit: Retains the aspect ratio and expands the image until it reaches the edge of the screen. This will avoid clipping but the image may appear small.

  • Ignore aspect, fill: Will change the image's aspect ratio to match that of the preview screen, and then scale it up so that it fills it entirely. This will likely make the image appear stretched, but there will be no clipping and the image will be rendered large.

The image scaling option allows you to choose how your background image fits the layout.
