EGF 1.1 is a revised version of the Educational Game Format that builds on the 1.0 foundations while making packages more predictable across implementations. It clarifies core concepts such as Scenes and Gameplay Sessions, strengthens conformance and validation requirements (including sequencing expectations), and more precisely defines how EGF Readers must handle navigation and media playback. EGF 1.1 also refines game-state behavior (such as wrong-answer counting and Game Over conditions) and introduces new roles for enhanced packaging and playback control. These changes reduce ambiguity for implementers and support consistent export and playback across Android, iOS, the web, and other platforms.
Notable changes:
- Addition of the roles text_simple, image_simple, question_simple, true_or_false_simple, and foreground_audio
- Clarification of the video_simple, audio_simple, and mcq_simple roles
- Addition of attributes to the video_simple, audio_simple, background_audio, and hangman_simple roles
- Correction of a minor erratum: "A credits_simple item MUST contain one or more child items with the role credit_field." → "A credits_simple Scene MUST contain one or more child items with the role credit_field."
- Minor typographical fixes
- Official support for non-standard roles
- Other minor changes
