Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2008 14:04:56 -0500 I'm traveling currently, and to help me learn spanish I coded a version of mnemosyne (http://mnemosyne-proj.sourceforge.net) for Rockbox. Mnemosyne is a program that basically quizzes you on flash cards, except that it is smart about when it quizzes you -- the better you remember something the longer it will take to quiz you the next time. This way it tries to quiz you on things just when you're about to forget them, making the best use of your time and as it turns out causing you to remember the cards the longest (this technique is called 'spaced repetition'). I'm sending it to the mailing list instead of putting a patch on flyspray because I don't have diff available right now or even a recent checkout to make sure my patch would be up to date. But this is the only source file so copying and pasting it into apps/plugins and editing SOURCES should be sufficient. When I'm back in the states in February I'll post a proper patch, but maybe someone will get some use out of it between now and then. To use it, see the comment at the beginning of the source file. You'll need to create a .rockbox/mnemosyne folder with subfolders called 'future', 'new', 'forgot', and 'toedit' (the plugin isn't smart enough yet to make these itself). Mnemosyne will quiz you a question, wait for you press select to show you the answer, then ask you to rate how well you remembered on a 1-5 scale. Right now the keys are only setup for a Sansa e200 since that's what I have, if you have another player you may need to do some editing. Comments/bug fixes welcome, Joe
