[Sugar-devel] Memorize Game sharing a Created game

[David Leeming]

Hi Tom,

I can definitely say that we have this issue! It is something that I have
done with intermittent success before but in our current workshop we simply
cannot make it work. 

I attach a sample game "Flags of the Pacific" that we cannot get to share.
We also did a simple one where 6 photos taken with Record matched with words
(text). This also would not share, with the game area appearing blank and
not loading on the joined XOs.

We did everything we could think of, restarting, etc etc.

Can you please give me the step by step method you used to (a) create and
share a game and (b) to load the attached game and then share it, using a
server or simple mesh (if it makes any difference) then we will attempt to
reproduce.

Also, can you let me know if the saved game should be loadable from the
Journal or has to be loaded from a started game.

Many thanks!

We tested the memorize that comes with 8.2.1 and had no trouble. We
shared one of the pre-defined games. We made a word/word game and shared
that and we made a picture/word game and shared that. We didn't see any
problems.

We erased the Memorize supplied with 8.2.1 and installed Memorize 34 and
find the same issue you report. Unfortunately we didn't make a note of
the version supplied with 8.2.1, so I can't tell you which one did work
for us.

There are some exceptions in the log (why aren't these presented to the
user??) and I've raised http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2115
