AnkiWarrior - making Anki more addictive (plug-in)

#5
Hello,

thank you a lot for the input!

About the experience:
Actually you (usually) get more than 1 Experience Point for one card. It depens mainly on the age and ease of the card. A card which is answered for the first time actually gives you 10 experience points. I think on average it takes one day to reach the next level. I am looking for a way to make more level-ups without having to much work for creating all the ranks.

About items:
That's a great idea! I already thought about it a little, and I will probably also give some kind of currency for each answered card (e.g. 1 gold/answer). That could be used to buy items. Well, here are no limitations for imagination, and the possibilities a a bit overwhelming.

About German:
There will probably no German translation soon. And greetings from "central" Germany. ;-)

About addiction:
If you are already addicted to Anki, that's great :-). But probably not everybody is. My goal is to take those heavily addictive characteristics from WoW, FarmVille and so on and use it for SRS. The average playing time of 15-year olds in WoW is about 4 hours a day. How much could one learn in that time? A lot!

About Anki's shared plugins:
Yes, as soon as the plugin is in a usable state :-)

About completing lists:
I think that would be really motivating! Especially if the goals are broken down further, like the RTK Chapters or different percentages completed of the JLTP levels. First I'll focus on general features which work on all kind of decks but later that would definitely be a nice feature.

About loosing XP:
I've considered this. I don't know if it's good a not. I am not trying to punish anybody for not doing his reviews but rather encourage him to do these. Maybe increased experience when cards are answered on the day they are due would do the trick. Same effect, but different "feeling" ;-)

Thanks for your comments, further input is highly appreciated of course! :-)
