To display notifications in MindWare, I have created an alternative version of ChapelR’s excellent Notify macro. The new macro differs from the original in two important ways:

1. Close button: In my version, notifications don’t close automatically. Instead, the user has to click a close button. This is to prevent situations where the player doesn’t have enough time to read the information in the notification, especially in cases where the content is crucial to the gameplay or story.
2. Multiple notifications: Unlike the original macro, which replaces the existing notification with a new one, my macro supports the display of multiple notifications at once. All displayed notifications can then be dismissed with just one click on the close button.

Here’s an example of the notification macro being used in MindWare (version 0.0.2):
