Add a game to your learning

A Minigame slide turns your own questions into one of thirteen short games - a quiz against the clock, a swipe, a sort, a memory game. You set the length and the look, type or generate the items, test-play it on the spot, and add a Leaderboard slide to rank the players.

Competence - learn by playing - 7 min. You need: a learning, and six questions

Playing it yourself changes nothing. Only Save stores the game.
