<div>Hi Amit,</div>
<div><br>
</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><br>
</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 every

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">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>
