First, I have to say it is a great module indeed.
But, I've found a bug with the hangman game.
On the first attempt the game works fine. On other attempts, the game mixes the definitions and words and therefore you have to guess a word based on another word's definition.
For example, the glossary/question category has 2 words: House (place where you live) and Dog (man's best friend). When you play for the first time the game asks you to guess HOUSE and the hint is "place where you live".
When you complete the game and want to try it again, the game asks you to guess HOUSE, but the hint instead would be: "man's best friend". You would normally answer DOG, but the game asks for the word HOUSE.
I've tried on both Glossary and Short Answer modes and still I have the same problem.
Also, I have a suggestion: a button to end the game even if you didn't finish it. Also a restriction of number of attempst would be fine.
Cheers!!
I can't reproduce the error. What database do you use? Can I see it in the internet?
We also use MySQL.
Our game activities aren't available on the internet. Sorry.
All the other games work fine. The hangman is the one that has that issue.
I also have another suggestion that I forgot to mention: Place the comments text above the game itself instead of the bottom, like a set of instructions for that particular game.
Therefore, a user reads the instructions and ther he/she plays the game.
Thanks for your great module.

Dear Vasilis
We also have this problem with Hangman (thanks so much for this module by the way - its ace).
Same story - all fine intially but when you do it again, it mixes the definitions and the words.
Can you help?

I have the same problem. MySql, moodle 196+
Thanks, now it works well (questions match answers), but I have another problem in hangman - i have 9 words in glossary - Hangman works only 9times - for the 10th attempt, there are no more letters... (http://moodle.cceruzdka.cz/mod/game/attempt.php?id=60).
Sorry, problem was in some czech characters missing in game.php ($string[ 'lettersall1']). Now everything is OK.
I found the solution with the 9 times. Wait one day and download the module again.
The fix is file /mod/game/hangman/play.php
