    It's difficult for me to make a crossword. Could someone please tell me what settings I need to have in order to display the crossword? I continue to receive error notifications,

    Moodle 4.0.5 Game version 2023081606 , 2023091101
    In the crossword puzzle, when two words appear in the same row or column, it does not allow an answer to be given to either word and the game cannot be completed.

    The current version does not work with 4.1 for crosswords. I am keeping the 8 Jan version in a folder to copy over the cross folder after an upgrade. The crossword only works for one word in the same row, the second word in the same row will not open a text box to enter a solution. The 8 Jan version work fine though.

    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.
