Issue with hovering text

Had someone play with the simulation for the first time today - problem was that they couldn't do ANYTHING as they kept try to click the text above the boards instead of the board which controls the script. If we think about web pages it's what people are conditioned to do.

So only thought i had was to explicitly say 'click the board' or something. Otherwise we may need to re-think this design.

Just put it into the documentation, surely the nursing students will catch on eventually. It'll be like learning the controls of a new game....

^^ agreed; and yeah there's no reason we can't say "click oxygen tank to turn on" or whatever

that should be clear enough

I thought something like that may occur when i was writing the user acceptance stuff
