Content Templates
There's a lot going on in this thing. Unfortunately, that means we have to pay special attention to the format of all the content; if it's not formatted right, things will break! Follow the templates, else you may need to redo your work.
This page hopes to:
- explain what different game types are available, for context on how your content will be used in situ
- provide the necessary content templates for you to fill in
You'll only really need the first section - The 3 Main Templates - but how they're linked to the games themselves has been included so you can see how the content fits within the existing app structure.
An example of the original App's content, as it is used in the app, is available on this page. It's a separate page because - as you'll see - there's a fair amount to it. The surrounding code has been removed so you can see the format each game's content gets put into in order for it to work.
This should also serve as an example of the type of content (primarily translation-focussed) that Partneriaeth don't want to see in the content authored for the new difficulty levels.
The 3 Main Templates
1 "choose 1 correct answer"
The format (example)
| prompt word or sentence #1 |
correct answer for #1 |
| prompt word or sentence #2 |
correct answer for #2 |
We take all of the available correct answers and combine them to make a bank of incorrect answers. Please make sure no two correct answers are the same. It may work, but we don't know if it will work.

2 "like multiple choice with two prompts"
The format (example)
| main prompt #1 |
secondary prompt for #1 |
correct answer for #1 |
incorrect answer for #1 | 2nd incorrect answer for #1 | 3rd incorrect answer for #1 |
| main prmopt #2 |
secondary prompts are not required. can be like... help text maybe? |
correct answer for #2 |
incorrect answer for #2 | 2nd incorrect answer for #2 |
x?

3 "make a sentence"
The format (example)
| prompt #1 |
Sentence in |
order |
of being |
correct |
|
| prompt #2 |
Another sentence |
also in the correct |
order, but split |
as will appear in |
the game. |
The sentences can be as long as you like (that is ... have as many break points / span as many columns), but you'll need to make sure they
- can each only be built correctly 1 way. ( e.g. the following wouln't work, because there are two separate
dobits:What|do|you want to|do|today?) - aren't too long, since the games will run through all of the different available sentences before ending
