Update - Mike Kilby

I spent all of Wed night and Thursday trying to fix Dave's puzzle patch to work with mine. There was an unforseen problem in slotting Dave's patch into the quiz patch, as the quiz pztch chose random questions and answers based on charm name/index, whereas Dave's patch just had a random nuber generator (1 - 4). There were other problems too using the xfade object, this just didn't work properly, despite working with the other videos in the charm patch, I still haven't worked out why. We also found that the puzzle was taking some time to load as the image was being broken up into 144 tiles and randomised, so this was inevitable really.

Anyway, in the end I just removed the patch and we've decided to keep it simple with a basic quiz. I also removed the instructions page and added large & legible instructions to the interface so the user can follow the steps as they go along, rather than reading it all at the start then trying to remember it!

Mike C's audio stuff now works very well too after some de-bugging on mine & Mike C's part.

We got some really helpful feedback from Rob on Friday about the audio and text. Ash is working again on cutting down text and sorting out a voiceover for the opening patch. Mike C is adding some more sounds to the quiz patch, and finding some audio to add to the background for the home page and charms page.
