| You've got a garden area in your Place, and you'd like to take into account the weather there. In particular, you'd like to use the Rain Contraptions to give a raindrops background, when it's raining of course. This was covered in [[gameplay:guides:places:progtutIV|programming tutorial IV - raindrops keep falling on my bonce]]. But you'd like to go further. When it's not raining, then you'd like to use the Tree Shadows Contraption to give you a nice background woodland effect. How do you mix the two? | You've got a garden area in your Place, and you'd like to take into account the weather there.

| You could try starting with the 'rain' program of tutorial IV. This shows a rain background whenever the weather status number is five, six, or seven, (the three 'rainy states).

You want to use the Page Lighter Contraption as well as the Tree Shadows Contraption, but there's only room for one gadget in the Escape Hatch. Think again. | You could try starting with the 'rain' program of tutorial IV. This shows a rain background whenever the weather status number is five, six, or seven, (the three 'rainy states).
