      Hi Ryan! I haven't tried it, but as long as all the same triggers exist I believe it could be.

    Hi Alison,

    I love this game and I am using it in one of my courses. I have run into a problem with the result slides. I want the user to be able to view the result slides once the quiz is completed and I have set each question to have the Result Slide value set to the relevant Result Slide number in Form view.

    When %Results1.ScorePoints% is greater than or equal to %Results1.PassPoints% I can move on to the next slide in the course by clicking the Next button on the last Review slide.
    But when %Results1.ScorePoints% is less than %Results1.PassPoints% nothing happens when I click the Next button on the last Review slide and I get stuck on this page.

    Aside from this problem, I would also like the user to be able to re-take the battleship quiz but to get a completely new set of questions the second time. How would I be able to do this?

    Do I duplicate the whole battleship game (the complete set of slides) and point that quiz result to a new Result Slide? In this case, how do I add up the final score of the course? I want the quiz result to be reset before the user re-takes the quiz and the new result to be the final course result but I also want users that pass the quiz the first time to have their score posted as the final course result.

    Or do I add eight new questions in the original battleship game? In this case how do I select which questions to be displayed in the first try and which questions to be displayed in the second try? Again, the scores need to be added up correctly for each game and reset/re-posted if the user re-tries the quiz.

    Or is there another way to do this?

    Thanks
    Annika

      Hi Annika,
      Glad to hear you like this template and are using it in one of your courses! :)

      I'm having a hard time understanding the first issue you're describing, but it sounds like something you may want to open a support case for. Here's a link to the form: http://www.articulate.com/support/contact/submit.php

      If you'd like the learner to retake the battleship quiz with different questions then yes you'd have to duplicate the quiz and redirect the learn to that quiz when they click on "retry".

      In terms of the score, unfortunately there is no way to say "if they get 80% on either this quiz or that quiz then they pass the course". The only way I can see to make it work would be to check all the questions (in both quizzes) in the results slide and then set the passing score so that if they pass one OR the other, they will pass. For example, if you had set the passing score to 80% for 1 quiz, you'd have to set it for 40% so that if they pass either one of the quizzes they're still receiving a passing score.

      Hope that helps!
  • This is so awesome! Thanks for this. I think I am going to add sound effects when for spaces with no ships. I am definitely going to add sound effects for the explosions and correct answers.
  • Hello Allison! Thanks for sharing the working template.

    I couldn't move to the layer - Game Over. Looks like Show Layer Game over when the rectangles are not normal isn't working. Is there any workaround?
  • I downloaded your file and previewed it but still not working. I tried with a new trigger - Show layer Game Over when the variable is not equal to 1 and it works. Curious to know why the trigger you set up isn't working now. Suggest you to check now.
