Thanks so much for all your work on this plugin Vasilis, looks like there's similar but slightly different error now when I try to upgrade to 2017062702:

Hi! I have problems in many games: Crossword does not see the glossary and its categories, Millionaire does not see the questions, Can you help mee?

Аида Маркосян: Goto settings of game, select the correct glossary and press save. If the problem continues please goto at https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=7220, open a discussion and send a printscreen of settings to understand the problem.

New: version 2017070301 auto detects for common problems e.g. words with spaces and not allowing spaces in the game, multichoice without only only one correct anwer, words containing letters that not contained in the used language.

Added high scores in each game (version 2017081104)

The game module in Moodle 3.1 in the Snakes and ladders game, has the snakes head below the tail. Also, it doesn't properly move up the ladder or down the tail? Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm using Moodle 3.3. When I add a Hangman to the course, I select "Source of Questions" to be "Questions." This makes the question categories available to be selected in the dropdown box. However, the question categories all have a (0) out to the right of them, indicating there are no questions in any category. But, when I go to the question bank in the course, nearly all of the categories (sometimes sub-categories) have questions in them. I can provide screenshots if necessary.

I am also using Moodle 3.3 and am experiencing the same issues as Matthew Willson. I am also getting DB errors when I choose any of the game activity options. Is there something we are missing in the setup?

Hello,

We encounter a difficulty with the game plugin while configuring associated completion conditions.
We had the problem with the crossword activity but suspect it to happen on other activities.
While configuring activity completion on option "Show activity as complete when conditions are met" and "Require grade", the activity is never completed.
Our Moodle is a 3.3.1+ version and the game plugin we use is 2017081401 version.

Many thanks for this gamification plugin

Further tests showed that games activity completion worked fine when associating "Require grade" to "Require passing grade", even when the specified passing grade is zero.
This solves temporarily the problem.

Hello,

Thank you for this plugin. I'm not sure if everyone else is facing the same issues, but I noticed in the Crossword game when I chose "Questions" as "Source of Questions", the setting for "Include subcategories" was still disabled, which I think should be enabled.
Another issue is that I couldn't find the string "Header/Footer Options" for translation. Would appreciate it very much if you could fix this, assuming it is missing.

Thanks,

Cryptex and Crossword don't recognize my questions or my quiz. They are fine with my glossary. Other games see the questions and quizzes fine. I'm using version 2017081401 for Moodle 3.3.1. This is the same as several other users have reported.

Cryptex - two issues:
1. Db error. I've prepared fix. It is waiting for integration at github.com https://github.com/bdaloukas/moodle-mod_game/pull/21 .
2. Error when trying to print finished exercise. (May be, the print button shouldn't be visible).
