So I thought about the ranks and levels and experience...
the possibilities of course are endless. Maybe later I can implement different "game modes", where you have different ranks and different settings.
But for now, I think I'll adjust my initial idea a little bit:
- With increasing experience, one will "conquer" Japaneses cities.
- in every conquered city, one can build (real existent) attractions, like parks, buildings, sights and so on. You'll earn money for every answered card and can use it to build something
- I'll make a webpage, where you can register your progress and share (and probably compare) it.
- I'll make a form, where people can suggest attractions which will be added to the system.
- If there is some need for it, I could still make some "conquerer" ranks, based on your level of experience.
The advantage with cities and attractions is
- it's a well-defined data set.
- there are a lot of things to add, so it doesn't get boring soon.
- it's easy to get pictures without copyright problems
- one can learn about Japan (and as everybody can suggest attractions, maybe some insider tips?)
- there is a clear goal: "conquer all cities"
- there is a never ending goal: "buy all attractions"
Focusing on cities lets me concentrate on the development of AnkiWarrior without having to worry about different ranks. As soon as it works, it shouldn't be difficult to define other kinds of goals.
It'll probably take some time until the next update. I have to write the php code, collect cities and initial attractions, and implement the changes. I'll let you know about my progress.
Further ideas and comments are of course highly appreciated!
