    Yep, it just uses mod/quizgame/pix/ship.png, so you can replace the image with a generic space ship.

    Hello, I installed module in a Moodle 2.8.3 and when I access to activity I see this error:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined method page_requirements_manager::js_call_amd() in /Dades/htdocs/moodle_kidsandus/mod/quizgame/renderer.php on line 34

    I think that AMD is only available from Moodle 2.9, right?

    Best regards,
    Iban Cardona.

    When the game encounters a long question, the text overlaps the score and it's all jumbled up. Can the score or question text be moved somewhere else on the screen? We love this activity!!!

    I would like to set grades for the Quizventure activity. It seems, there are no options to set the maximum grade in the module setting. Any possibility to do that?

    Hey John, i love your plug in, but i have one problem: It is only possible to choose the question category "Standard »coursname«". How is it possible to choose EVERY category which is in the questionbank availible? Thank you!

    Iban, yes you are right. I will go through and change the requirements of the new versions of the plugin to 2.9. I completely forgot! Apologies for the inconvenience, you will need to revert to Release 3.0-r4

    Thanks for the feedback, Rob Garren. I have added that to the issue tracker on the quizgame github. https://github.com/xow/moodle-mod_quizgame/issues/27

    Thanks for the feedback, Jack. I have not added support for grades yet. This is on the quizgame github. https://github.com/xow/moodle-mod_quizgame/issues/12 If you have an idea of how you'd like the maximum grade to be set (since the game has no end and you can just keep getting points) comment here or on the issue. Perhaps I will need to just make the game end when you have answered all questions instead of having the game go on, just getting faster.

    Thanks for the feedback, Jakob. I don't think there is a way to select every category. But you could add more questions into a custom category.

    I save my questions not in the questioncategory of the course but in an questioncategory that belongs to the coursecategory in order to be able to use questions many courses.
    So my questions are stored "one level up" not in the course.
    Is there a way to change from the questioncategory, that belongs to the course into a questioncategory that belong to a coursecategory?

    Hi John, I like the plugin! I'm wondering if you could please add the Glossary activity. If a definition was the question, then random terms could be coming down on the spaceships as distractors. Thanks!

    Great idea Jeff, I've added it as an issue on github. Unfortunately it may be a while before I have a chance to get to it, but perhaps someone else may feel like taking it up.

    Thanks Sushumna. I created https://github.com/xow/moodle-mod_quizgame/issues/29 about this. Previously mobile would work but I think I broke it at some point. May not be that hard to fix. If you know any javascript feel free to have a look and give a patch. If not I'll take a look some time in the future and update that issue.
