OK, there’s a first stab at a memory game in the expo file:

http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_560

 

Page 53.

 

For developers I think the .rlm is also a useful example of using decision
icons / custom events to keep things neat:

odels/memory.rlm [cut, paste and save as .rlm]

It would be nice to be able to pair words/images, words/sounds,
sound/images, sound/words and to be offered to generate a set of 6, 9 or 12
cards according to the level of difficulty desired.

The memory game: the cards have words ? Or pictures? So, in the editor I
just type lots of words: 

 

Mandolin,banjo,guitar,piano

 

And then two cards are created for each word?

 

Or each word is associated with a picture?

 

How does it work?

 

Crosswords are hard to do. Open to suggestions but they are harder than you
first think: how does the editing work, and how does the exercise get
generated? How does the user enter the letters in the cells? The word search
is also a  bit tricky to generate dynamically, and again, I’;m not sure how
the author would create / edit one?

Hi,

3 ideas of word games that would be nice to have on toolkits (you’ll
probably answer that I’m very welcome to code them. I would if I could)

-          Memory game with a set of cards to turn until you’ve finished
matching the pairs

-          Crosswords

-          Words hidden in a box filled with random letters

Cheers, Franck

Hiya,

 

I want to make a new toolkits zip, 1.7, file before ALT-C in September, so
am going through, tidying up, adding some new models etc. This will be minor
release just to synch everything up and put out the latest additions and
fixes.

 

5 new templates in the main template:

 

JMolViewer, for viewing 3D models of molecular structures;

Matching Texts interaction for matching pairs of text chunks

Modify Exercise, moved into the main template form mediaInteractions. Allows
the user to re-write a piece of text and compare to a model answer.

Games: Hangman. Any more ideas for games?

Google Translate tool for translating languages.

 

Examples are all in the page types example file:

 

http:///www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_560
<http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_560> 

 

Is there anything else you want adding?

 

J
