Before you start

At the beginning you should be aware which kind of pairs game you like to provide. Like in the introduction explained, you have four kinds of pairs.

  1. Same picture This is the standard of a pairs game. For every pair you have two cards with the same picture.
  2. Two pictures In this mode you have for every pair two cards with two similar pictures. (i.e. two cats)
  3. Picture to text In this mode you have for every pair one card with a picture and one card with a description of the picture. This is a good choice for learning foreign languages. (i.e. a card with a picture of a dog and the description “Hund” in German on the second card)
  4. Text only In this mode you have for every pair two text cards. On one card is a description in one language and on the other card in a different language. This is the second mode for learning foreign languages. (i.e. a card with the description “Deer” and a second card with the description “Reh” in German)

In our case we like to maintain a pairs game with the mode two pictures. You need, before you start, create proper images and upload them in your image folder of your homepage. For this tutorial we provide pictures in the directory typo3conf/ext/glpairs/Documentation/Images/Example/ of this extension. You can copy it from there to any directory you want of your homepage.
