<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Probably yes, I would need to check
closer, but I guess the idea for this multiplication activity was
somehow validated before the work started on this branch... By the
way, is it a port of an activity from the old version, or a
proposal for a new one?<br>

<div>Hi Amit,</div>

</div>
<div>This is a really good news. I think this can
be a very interesting activity, especially when
it will be networked.</div>
<div>First of all you will need to write a
detailed description of how it will work, and do
some mockups to show how you see it.</div>
<div>I will sent you the description I am writing
about the server, this can give you an idea of
what I would like to read.<br>
</div>
<div>You may think that the activity is already
there and that writing a specification is not
needed, but I would be glad if you do this part.
We can then agree on what you will produce.</div>
<div>I will follow you on this activity. This will
be the first time I do some code review on a
whole project, so be patient with me ;)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Ok for the new activity name, menu at start,
and configuration board.</div>

<div>Good luck :)</div>

As this activity can be used to learn
vocable list, chemical abbreviations,
multiplication tables, etc.<br>
<br>
I'd like to start activity from
scratch and use some of the part from
the current code. I’d also like to
rename the activity to
“question_and_answers”(can be
changed). <br>
<br>
I have planned to implement a menu
screen at start of activity as in lang
and categorization activity, with
options → multiplication, chemical
abbreviations, etc. Player can select
the one of the category and questions
will be asked on that category.</div>

In which category do you put the activity? As it can be

For me this activity is more for school use than home
use.<br>
On my side, for the home use, I don't see the interest
of having a quiz with fixed questions (specially on
specific themes that we would choose) without giving any
help for the child or any material to learn. I think
that for most of the themes/categories we could find,
there would be a better way to show it to children.<br>
<br>
I would be more of having a main activity
"questions_and_answers" but not present in the menu and
having a way to add datasets (for now manually but later
using the server) that would create the different
activities (the ones really displayed in the menu).<br>
<br>
It needs to be thought (for the children/teachers use,
the maintainability of the code/datasets, easiness to
add/remove/update...) if it would be easier to use to
have multiple activities (one for each category) or one
activity only with a menu (or a mix of both).<br>
For a school use, I would say activities may be better
if we can filter the displayed activities to the
children (so they don't have to first open the main
activity and choose the good category).<br>
<br>
What do you think?<br>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I agree with Johnny, this sounds more like a tool for
school teachers to make some tests, which does not fit
really with the guidelines for gcompris activities, look
at the "Core principles" part in <a
class="m_-7784059493802275150moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://gcompris.net/wiki/Ideas_for_activities"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">http://gcompris.net/wiki/<wbr>Ideas_for_activities</a></p>
<p>However I agree this could eventually be a sort of
test-activity template, "hidden" inside the server
application. That would show-up in the activity list
only if the server sent a specific dataset for it...
something like that.<br>
</p>
<p>But then, maybe it's a bit too early to start coding
for this, since that would probably require some of the
missing parts of the server app, that should be done
first. <br>
