Crossword example project

[pikurasa]

An additional spin to having the kids spell words with the musical alphabet could be creating a "crossword" project using words that use the musical alphabet.

For more context, read: https://musicblocks.net/2022/12/23/learning-the-musical-alphabet-with-music-blocks/

I was thinking of having the crossword like this what do you suggest?

Across

1. A group of musical notes played together (5 letters)
2. The speed of a piece of music (6 letters)

4. The pitch of a musical note (6 letters)

2. A symbol that tells the musician which notes to play (5 letters)
3. A musical instrument (7 letters)
5. The pattern of long and short notes in a piece of music (7 letters)

Assign this to me.Help needed to do my first open source contribution.

[dhiraj0911]

@pikurasa can you assign it to me

[pikurasa]

@Moazzum786 @dhiraj0911 there is no need to assign for this particular ticket. There are multiple possible solutions to this. Just dive in and have fun.

[Moazzum786]

@pikurasa Hey! may i get some help on how to deal with this issue. Just trying to figure out how open source works.

Have you made a project with Music Blocks? I recommend you start and share your work. You may share here or in our room on Matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#music-blocks:matrix.org

Once you've made a few projects, then I think you can start this one.

[aditya-mistri]

@pikurasa Please assign me this issue , i can solve the issue

[omsuneri]

@shishirkj i have a problem with this solution

[pikurasa]

@shishirkj i have a problem with this solution

The solution is suppose to be a Music Blocks project. Please use Music Blocks to create the project, download your project as HTML, then commit the file and do the PR.

[omsuneri]

Sir would you please elaborate as I had created .html in my system and now to create a puzzle using music blocks web

[pikurasa]

Sir would you please elaborate as I had created .html in my system and now to create a puzzle using music blocks web

For example, in your HTML, I see:

<li>Face</li>
<li>Bed</li>
<li>Cafe</li>
<li>Cab</li>
<li>Beg</li>

which is not Music Blocks code. None of this will be interpreted by Music Blocks as code, so it cannot be an example.

What you do, however, is:

Open Music Blocks via https://musicblocks.sugarlabs.org

Then perhaps you can write these words out with Music Blocks code as a start.

For example "face" on your list could be:

Then, once you're complete, you download your project as HTML using this feature:

Once you do this, you will have a true Music Blocks project, saved as HTML.

@pikurasa Hello, I am interested in creating a crossword puzzle and understand how the words are formed on musicblocks, but I don't understand how to create the "crossword" aspect of it physically. Is there a way to connect them? Can you explain it further? Thank you!

[pikurasa]

Currently, the first step is to make a good quiz using the musical alphabet.

From there, we can make a crossword, which will be more complicated.

Here's an example so far:

• https://musicblocks.sugarlabs.org/index.html?id=1700185888873048&run=True

Thank you so much for your answer!

[belginkoc]

Created a new quiz but realized that in the answer and new quiz when there is a wrong answer the quiz does not continue, looking into this problem

[pikurasa]

For anyone looking into working on this, please start from the following framework, which should be more robust than the one I linked to above: https://musicblocks.sugarlabs.org/index.html?id=1699191323362045&run=True

[JustinFrost47]

@pikurasa , I made a quiz based on the provided framework.

@pikurasa Hi! I'm working with @belginkoc on this issue and another issue that we were running into was that whenever the answer to a particular quiz question was wrong, instead of letting the user input an answer again, the quiz stops. Do you have any suggestions/fixes to this? Thank you!

Please share the project.

That being said, if it is what I think it is, then it is probably not that the quiz stops but that the blocks appear in the foreground. It might be that the quiz is still going. At any rate, please share the project you are referring to.

[apsinghdev]

is this issue open @walterbender @pikurasa sir ? or anything left to do in this issue ?

[walterbender]

A nice quiz project was deployed, but not a crossword.

[apsinghdev]

Got it . Thanks sr

[apsinghdev]

@pikurasa @walterbender sir, Is there any working example of such project or reference from where i can take the inspiration for a crossword. the links given in above conversation https://musicblocks.sugarlabs.org/index.html?id=1699191323362045&run=True , https://musicblocks.sugarlabs.org/index.html?id=1670080973833838&run=True are not opening any project. ( in short, I just want to get a hint of how the crossword would look like and function )

[vaishnavi192]

@apsinghdev are you working on this issue? can I also join?

[Ishpreet01]

@pikurasa is this issue still open?

[pikurasa]

@pikurasa is this issue still open?

Yes. We recommend that you start from the quiz project in the examples folder, and then go from there.

[zahidhussain998]

@pikurasa is this issue still open?

Yes. We recommend that you start from the quiz project in the examples folder, and then go from there.

agreed @pikurasa

[harshuttamchandani]

This idea seems interesting. I tried to catch up and remixed the quiz game and made that into a crossword.
Have a look -: Music Blocks Project

[pikurasa]

We can close this issue. Bravo to everyone who worked on it!
