    Hi, I am not getting the most recent version of a plugin using the API. The pluging is mod_game. Api call is "https://download.moodle.org/api/1.3/pluginfo.php?branch=401&format=json&plugin=mod_game". Last version is "2023042500". However, that is an older version previously published there and also from https://moodle.org/plugins/mod_game/versions Any ideas what the reason could be?

    Hello, I am using Moodle 4.2.5, in some courses we use some games like hidden image, millionaire game, hangman. When we duplicate these courses, when trying to use the games, the message "There are no questions" appears and the question category must be selected again in the activity settings in the duplicate course.

    Hi
    I hope you are well. Please can I ask a little favour. We have thousands of students using our eLearning Platform, Deliver Computing 360. They love and the games are going down a treat.

    The crossword is great, when you click on a word, the question pops up for them to answer, they are brilliant. As this is so good we want to remove the large list of questions down the side or below. it makes the page look messy and teachers say that low-ability special needs students find there is too much on the screen for them to handle, process and cope with. It's an accessibility issue for some students. On your options it says, put the questions, below, to the right,... can you add an option to say, don't show. Then when they click a word it appears anyway, so there is no need for all this text. It will give a clean look and be accessible.

    Thank you so much.

    Hello:
    I want to use this great plugin for Moodle in my gamified mathematics course. I already know how to use the crossword game but I am unable to use “The hidden picture” game... are the game settings explained somewhere?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello,
    We are experiencing exactly the same error message as Mr Adarsh Shah when we try to create a new Hagman game instance:
    You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1
    SELECT id,concept FROM mdl_glossary_entries WHERE glossaryid=
    [array (
    )]
    Error code: dmlreadexception×Απόρριψη αυτής της ειδοποίησης

    We using Moodle 4.4. Will the problem be fixed if we upgrade to the newest Game plugin version. Have you already published a fix?

    Thanks in adnvance
