    Hi there, I still have the problem with the German "ß", that Henry has described here: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=332489 When I change the option "Disables text-transform:uppercase in CSS " the word count for the result is no longer seen as correct, because "ß" resolves to two "S" when uppercase is used. I think the result boxes assume uppercase despite the "disable" option being ticked and therefore count two "S" as the correct wordlength. I have the latest version installed, so it's still an issue.

    I have an error when trying to install the plugin, it happens and it turns out that my database is MySQL 8.0, therefore one of the statements called row is not valid for the syntax of this version.

    Version 2018-11-17-03 fixes the problem with MySQL 8.0 (change the name of fields from col/row to mycol/myrow because row is a reserved word). Don't forget to donate at https://www.paypal.me/moodlegame to help the support of module Game.

    This CSS code, while not perfect, makes the crossword layout prettier.
    #page-mod-game-view {
    .crosswordarea table#crossword tbody {
    width: 800px !important;
    td {
    width: 28px;
    height: 9px;
    }
    }
    }

    /* Actually an even better solution is to use rem units */

    #page-mod-game-view {
    .crosswordarea table#crossword tbody {
    td {
    width: 2rem;
    height: 2rem;
    }
    }
    }

    Thanks Derek Chaplin. Version 2018-11-20-02 includes a similar change in CSS, so cells in crossword are now square.

    Very reliably updated, and I can't speak for the other games, but 'Book with question' is unusable from what I can tell. I recommend https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?id=2113 and https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?id=2114 instead, for formative assessments within books (and others). Fantastic commitment to this plugin, though! Just doesn't suit what I was looking for.

    In the last version game "Book with questions" is now hidden by default. Every who wants to use it can unhide it from settings. I fixed some problems in this game also.

    Exceção - Too few arguments to function game_cryptex_play(), 10 passed in [dirroot]/mod/game/cryptex/play.php on line 160 and exactly 12 expected

    We use them on an education site for schools and schools love it so thank you. However, we have had a number of complaints about the game:- cryptex
    When the grid is created it has on several occasions created very sexual words and phrases which student have found and reported to their tutor. Screenshots have been sent to us. This has sparked a number of concerns to us, so much so that we have now had to remove this particular game. Is it possible for you to create a box a that we can enter a list of common words that your system will ensure does not appear in the grid or maybe you have another solution? Cheers.

    Why are questions in hangman and crossword split in 2 lines. Word It need to be in the same line of the rest of the question. Glossary is ok.
