Ramdomizing in memory games

Bugs in content types

Hi, I´m a teacher from a brazilian basic school, and I´ve created a memory game with the photo and names from my 20 students. I´ve selected the random option, with 6 pairs of cards.  Instead of randomizing between the 20 pairs, it randons only with the same 6 pairs always (that the program selected). It has frustated the student that didn´t "pop up". Is it an error? How can I solve it? (sorry for my bad English). It happens when playing in my account in H5P.org, and also when students play in the Wordpress, with Chrome, Firefox, both in notebooks or cell phones.

Hi Cristina,

Please provide the following:

  1. Platform and version number. E.g. Drupal, Wordpress, Moodle.
  2. Browser: Chrome, Firefox, Safari etc
  3. H5P plugin version
  4. Sample content - For security reasons please attach only a sample content that shows the issue. Do not use an actual content since it has student's names and pictures.

If it worked before:

  1. Any recent changes to the environment (new plugins/modules, updates, configuration changes etc.)
  2. Any recent changes to the browser you're using (new extensions, updates etc.)

The more information you provide, the quicker the community will be able to fix it and the quicker you'll have a working solution!

Hi all!

The problem simply is that the selection of cards is chosen on startup and not updated on retrying, so the selection remains the same. Just a slight change of the code would be required to change the behavior.

Best,

Oliver

Hi Oliver,

Your right! I really need to kick the habit of refreshing the page and use the reset/retry buttons more often.
