The Game-Play Overrides provide the ability to modify the gameplay of a specific question and make it different from the default settings for the game.
If you would like to globally change a gameplay setting for the entire game, you should access View → Game Settings. For more information, see “Games Settings: Overview”.
Overrides are for overriding the global settings on individual questions.
Submit type
A player’s question response can be submitted in two ways. The two submit types are:
-
Immediate feedback: A player’s choice is submitted and evaluated immediately upon selection.
-
With confirm button: A player is presented with a confirm button, upon their first selection. The choice(s) is not submitted until the confirm button is selected. The play can change their mind and/or make multiple selections. Options: The text on the button can be customized.
Question score: A question’s score can be any numerical value. Decimal and negative values are accepted.
Number of attempts: You can allow your players up to 10 attempts at a question.
Number across: Choices can be arranged into columns. You can specify up to 10 columns. The choice-container dimensions, location, horizontal and vertical spacing between choices, is set globally in the Game Settings.
Disable selected incorrect: Incorrect selections can be disabled after each attempt. If set to “Yes”, an incorrect choice is not available on a subsequent attempt. If Disable selected incorrect is set to “No”, all choices are available for selection at each attempt.
