Creating a new theme

Creating a new theme is quite easy and can be done using the following steps:

Assign a Title, Description, Author, Date and version to the theme

The Main Type describes the type of a theme. For example: Image type is used if the theme is for pairing the Images

Include a back image. This image will be used in the application as the image that would be displayed on the back of the cards.

Add elements to the theme by pressing and add images, words or sound to the elements . Elements are used for defining relation between two images, words or sounds. For example: Adding two images in one element will make those a pair. In case of sounds, Two sounds are added in an element to make them a pair. And two words can also be added to make them a pair. Adding sound and an image together in an element will make them a pair too.

Include Found Sound. Found Sound is the sound that is played when that element is correctly matched in pairs. There should be only one found sound for one element

Add more Elements. Adding elements increases the number of pairs in the game which can be useful when more number of outcomes are needed

After doing the mentioned steps, save your theme and hit the Try button. It will launch pairs with your theme.
