I’ve been playing around with Moodle plugins for the past few days and have kicked out a couple that are working, at least well enough…
Bob was absent yesterday and has to make up the test. Jane didn’t do so well and you want to let her have a second attempt. You’re only giving students 10 minutes for the quiz today, but Chris just needs a few extra minutes.
What you need is a user override. Not sure when this was added to Moodle, but I found it while setting up my Moodle 2.7 server for next year; and it looks like something that will get a lot of use.
The basics are that you can give a user, or a group, slightly different restrictions on a Moodle quiz.
Not sure this is the best way to do this, but it works. Working on a project and I’m writing a lot of code to…

Well, this script is pretty much worthless now. Not sure when it happened, but Moodle now lets you upload the entire Blackboard zip file, images included, and everything gets imported. No more messing around with the res00000 files.
Going to leave the original post though. Might be handy for someone stuck using an older version of Moodle.

I’m a big fan of Moodle, but really don’t like the way you have to add questions to banks. There’s just too much on that page.
So I normally build question banks in Examview and then import to Moodle. Only catch is that importing that way doesn’t allow for images.
So what I’ve done is create a simple Python script that takes the exported file and replaces the image links with a data scheme URI. Wasn’t expecting it to work, but it works without a hitch.

Getting enemies to move tends to be one of the more difficult things for me to get right. It just doesn’t always seem natural. And I’m not talking about moving with any type of AI. Just moving around the screen in a pattern.
Sure, straight lines are pretty easy. But games get really boring if all the enemies just go from right to left or left to right.
For this post we’re going to explore moving an enemy through a series of waypoints using ActionScript 3. I’m going to create a movie clip symbol in Flash named Enemy_mc.
Doesn’t do much good to explain with words. This is what we’re going to create.
One minor difference. I set this demo up to loop so the enemy goes back to its starting position and sets its current waypoint back to 0 when it gets to the last one. The real deal will remove the enemy from the stage.
