The goal of the Block Game plugin is to apply gamification techniques to the moodle platform in a simple and uncomplicated way.
The plugin uses the following possible and configurable aspects:
Use Avatar: Allows the user to choose or change their avatar at any time. When the dotted icon appears it means the user has not yet chosen yours by clicking on it, or your avatar, it takes you to the selection page, just click on the desired avatar to make the choice. Selecting some avatars will require the user to reach a certain level to unlock them.
Allow avatar change in course: Allows the user to choose yours in whatever course the block is added! This option makes the plugin more flexible and can be used in only one or more courses, without the need to include the block in the general area of the platform!
