How to make an activity?

[SimvlietLineC]

Now that I've mastered using the CVL, I think it's time for me to make an activity. The only problem is, is that I don't know how to make one. Can someone tell me how, or is there an article that tells you how.

I have one problem though. Don't i need to convert the file to an ACT file in order for it to work? I don't know how to convert the file. Could you please tell me how?

Your file is now called "activity.txt"? Just change the name to "activity.act"

It still says its a text document.

Check that you are not letting your computer hide away the file extensions. Or else you might have called the file "activity.act", while your computer sees it as "activity.act.txt" (hiding the txt).

To show file name extensions in Windows Explorer, follow these steps:

For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008

1.Start Windows Explorer, you can do this by opening up any folder.
2.Click Organize.
3.Click Folder and search options.
4.Click the View tab.
5.Scroll down until you notice Hide extensions for known file types, un-check this line by clicking the check box.
Note To hide file name extensions, check this line.
6.Click OK

For Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003
1.Start Windows Explorer, you can do this by opening up any folder.
2.Click Tools, and then click Folder Options.
3.Scroll down and then click Folder and search options.
4.Click the View tab.
5.Scroll down until you notice Hide extensions for known file types, un-check this line by clicking the check box.

Note To hide file name extensions, check this line.

6.Click OK

Also a good tip: Do not try to make an activity from scratch the first time you are looking at these codes. Try to make changes in existing activities first. That is the best way to learn how the different elements of coding work together.
