I want to use the Tic Tac Toe community interaction. However, I can't figure out how to use the True/False question piece. Where do I tell it which is the correct answer?
Hi there Aaron - when you build your interaction in Engage, use the word "True" or "False" in the title of each segment, to indicate which is the correct response:
Yeah, I hear you. When I first downloaded it, I had to ask someone else. I think, though, that there's a readme.txt file that's part of the downloadable interaction provided by Novatek, and the instructions are in there.
I've used the Tic Tac Toe interaction before in Moodle 1.9 with success. I just adapted it to use in a course for carers working with people with dementia and have uploaded it to a Moodle course, though this is Moodle 2.0.
When I publish and play it it works fine. I zipped it and uploaded to my Moodle course as a Scorm package. When it opens it has a stray button up at the top left hand square - (see image below). Does anyone have any idea what causes this and how do you fix it?
I am trying to use this as a review at the end of several chapters within a course. Whichever Game is opened fist operates just fine. Any subsequent game looks like the image below, no questions, no text.
If I leave the window (and the room) for some long periond of time, it eventually seems to load. Unfortunately, I don't believe I'll be instructing my students to take a long break before each of these end of section reviews.
Hi Keith - I have not seen this happen in production before. It looks like part of the interaction code is not loading that lays out the tiles. I would only have wild guesses without knowing more details about how you have set up the interaction. I am new to the new forums - if there is a way to directly contact me that would be the best way to work this - then hopefully we can share the final answer with the community.

I don't have your contact details. You can email me at k.tyler-smith@xtra.co.nz and we can hopefully sort this out.
The email address you provided above bounced. I suggest you write an email "in the clear" such as this forum in a format that is spelled out in such a way that spam address harvesters are less likely to be able to grab it. Such as "Keith at gee mail"
I have the same issue - only it happens with just one instance of TicTacToe. Usually, the first time you go to the slide, it loads fine. Then, if you move backwards or forwards through the course, it no longer loads, or takes forever to load.
I have attempted a workaround of inserting it as a SWF (either via PPT or via Articulate) and get the following:
Brian - why would I contact Keith when he has the same issue? Is there anyone out there who can help us with this? Otherwise, the tic-tac-toe interaction is pretty useless.
My bad...I thought Keith's post had David's email address in it. David McClelland is the creator of the tic-tac-toe interaction. Thus, I'd recommend contacting him in regards to your issue:
Has anyone used the tic tac toe interaction lately? I'm trying to incorporate it into an elearning module in Storyline and the interaction is not showing in the submit button, nor is it showing the T/F labels (see red arrow). I'm not sure why it used to work and now it doesn't work in IE, Chrome, or Firefox...And it doesn't work in the preview of SL either. Is it because Flash is so much newer than this version of the interaction now? Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks!
Renee - that looks like something that was already posted and is a known issue. It came when you tried to have multiple tic-tac-toe interactions, or, it followed a different type of interaction. Since Storyline is pretty much all interaction driven, that's probably where the issue is.
And, since David has already replied (he's the writer of the interaction), I doubt you will get much further. I thought the interaction was grand, and don't know what *issues* may have arisen with its distribution, but it is a shame that it can't work with Storyline and that it was unable to work without quite a few conditions previously. I know that as a consultant, it cost me a great deal of $$s as when I couldn't get assistance, and it wouldn't work, I couldn't charge the client for any of the effort expended.
Probably the only true "bust" I've had when dealing with any of the Articulate products - and since it was a community interaction, not sure how much influence they had over it.
Thanks for your posts Kathie and David. I sort of thought this would be the case that it's not supported. You know, I got it to work in an older version of SL...but not with the newest upgrade. BOOO!!! I love this interaction. I'm sad I won't get to use it. Thanks again for your thoughts and help!
Thank you for the reply. I really like to use this as a quiz, wonder if it applies to presenter as well. Do you know any othr interactions similar to this? It will be of great help if I can get any ideas. Thanks

Thanks. I couldn't find how to use this interaction anywhere.

There is a bug in the code that prevents subsequent TicTacToe instances from loading properly.

Oops should be k.tylersmith@xtra.co.nz - without the hyphen.

Is this being worked on? Any "fixes" on the horizon? I think it is a great way to break up the chapters in a longer on-line session.
Also, I have an idea for you for a similar game if you are interested.

Hi Kathie,
I'd recommend contacting Keith directly on the issue. I believe his email address is in this post:
http://community.articulate.com/forums/p/1329/9742.aspx#9742
Does anyone get the following message when selecting an answer in tic tac toe:
"incorrect value used for true or false: [false. updates are expected to be available by august of this year."
How do I get rid of the "incorrect value used for true or false" statement?
Brian - why would I contact Keith when he has the same issue? Is there anyone out there who can help us with this? Otherwise, the tic-tac-toe interaction is pretty useless.

Thank you David. I tried deleting my response to the incorrect answer, but neglected to delete the period I placed after the word "false."

TicTacToe hasn't been supported in over a year. It hasn't been tested with Storyline, which came out long after TicTacToe.
Renee - that looks like something that was already posted and is a known issue. It came when you tried to have multiple tic-tac-toe interactions, or, it followed a different type of interaction. Since Storyline is pretty much all interaction driven, that's probably where the issue is.

Has this issue been fixed? I am facing the same issue as Owen. Has there been a resolution?
Swarna - see David's post. He was the developer. This interaction hasn't been supported in now, over 18 months. There is no resolution.
Thank you for the reply. I really like to use this as a quiz, wonder if it applies to presenter as well. Do you know any othr interactions similar to this? It will be of great help if I can get any ideas. Thanks
