Quizventure

Hi John,
Just wondering if you had a chance to look at the error message i showed/emailed to you at the moot in Clayton. I have a few people keen to use this but still doesnt work on our site.
Cheers, Chris

Thanks Stephen.
I have seen the bug in point #1 before, any idea what causes it? I haven't been able to work out exactly what to do to reproduce it yet.
With point #2, how would you expect multi answer questions to behave? To me it made sense to have to destroy all the correct answers, but perhaps it's better to make it so you can destroy any answer worth 100% to win.
And thanks in advance for the report on browser compatibility issues etc, I will need to start looking into more browser combinations

Hi, I like this plugin very much, but I've noticed a couple of issues:
- Sometimes killing the correct answer leaves some incorrect ones off screen - making the next question very confusing.
- multi-answer questions are included but only the first correct answer is used. You should have to kill all the correct answers.
- Some resolutions / browser combos don't seem to work I will report further on this later.

Hi Ziyad, what version of Quizventure are you using? Older versions used all quiz questions, but now you can set the category in the module's settings.
Good suggestion about the grade item. Not sure how I could predict a maximum grade considering the game just keeps going. But it's definitely something that could be good to add!

Hi John,
I have tested the activity. IT works really great. I think it would be a very useful activity for engaing students in online activities. However, It seems to pull the questions from the whole question bank. It would be more effecient for instructors to use if question categories can be assigned in this activity. Adding a grade element would also more motivating to students as they would see their game acheivement being reflected on their course progress.

I sent you a screenshot of the error in debug mode. Here are some suggestions for your future updates:
1.) add a gradebook score for the game
2) option to control the speed/timing of a question (or code the timing of the question to be dependent on the amount of letters in question and answers)
3.) option in settings to force sound off (for those of us with a class of 40 students)
I really like the game! Hopefully you continue to develop this, as it is an excellent engagement tool.

Is there an error appearing on your production site? Feel free to message me the error. And also, what question type plugin are you using?
A workaround would be to copy only the matching and multichoice questions into a separate category and use that in the quizgame. But I'd like to fix this bug if I can!

I tested on a 2.7 test site. It worked great. Awesome tool. However, it won't work on my production 2.7 site because I use a question type plugin. Is there a way that the game will ignore other question types that are not supported. (similar to the other moodle game plugin)?

Thanks again for the translations, greatly appreciated.
I'll look into releasing versions for older versions of Moodle if possible. But there are some complications. Hopefully I'll get some time soon

Hi John,
Your plugin works beautifully.
I can confirm that a warning message does tell you when there are no multiple choice questions in the default category, and once they are added, the game works fine.
I have uploade the mexican spanish translation in AMOS.
Thanks for a fun plugin.
Will you release versions for Moodle 2.6 and older branches?

Revision 2 released. Fullscreen mode, sound effects and mouse/touch controls added. Admin options to turn this on or off will be coming soon.
I'll be working on making mobile controls more intuitive and fun for the next release.

Thanks David. I've added the missing column (the table will be used soon), I fixed the css selector and added a namespace. I also added a message for when no questions are available.
Unfortunately s() won't work as strip_tags is needed to remove the html code from question text (e.g.

Hi John. Thanks for sharing this plugin with the community. I understand it's still an alpha version, yet I've been able to test it and had some fun Some notes follow (also sent via Jabber).
The table quizgame_scores does not seem to be used yet. And I believe there's a missing column that would link to a particular game instance (quizgameid or so). The div.fontloader is not a good CSS selector here as it might eventually affect other parts of Moodle having the same class. Please use plugin-specific selectors. Do I get it right that quizgame.js runs in the global scope? It would be better to namespace it under M.mod_quizgame to prevent collisions. Please make check that there are some questions available (to prevent endless "questions[level] is undefined" error in the JS console. I am wondering if the Moodle built-in function s() could be used instead of strip_tags().
I am going to approve this plugin now to give you a chance to receive further feedback from the community. With the hope that addressed issues would be fixed soon, you are cleared to land. Welcome to the Plugins directory.
