moodle-mod_treasure

Activity module for Moodle that allows to run outdoor, indoor (QRCodes), virtual maps (canvas) treasure-chases with geolocation.

Release notes: * Previous version had an issue with recent versions of IOS Webkit: Player interface broke for IOS devices (maybe caused by an IOS upgrade?). * Clues with long text were not readable in lateral panel in the player. Text moved to History Page.
