So, it’s pretty obvious that OpenChord.org is at the end of it’s life. It’s been that way for probably close to a year now, but I haven’t really had anything to update here. However, in the meantime, I’ve been working on a different project – the making of a non-music-related game. Instead, it’s a game designed to assist with memorizing flash-cards. I still don’t have a name for it, but you can try the beginnings of it here:
That’s just kinda a basic example of fundamental gameplay. It doesn’t include what I’ve been working on this last week, which is all back-end stuff to increase the functionality of the project. Namely:
- Transitioning cards to an SQLite database, compatible with flashcards created in the popular Anki program
- Implementing a spaced repetition algorithm, so items you learn get reviewed at longer and longer intervals, and the items you failed at show up more frequently.
I’ll be trying to update this blog more frequently, both as a progress report to myself and as a way to keep track of progress. If you have any ideas, please feel free to e-mail them to Alan@OpenChord.org, or leave them in the comments!
