Command-line flashcards program.
memorize is currently in development. Expect its behavior to change. Contributions are welcome.
Flashcards are a set of key-value pairs stored in a two/three column TSV file. memorize accepts the flashcards file path as an argument, and reads the file line by line, prompting the user with the first term in a line, and asking for the corresponding second term.
If you have a file called vocab.tab that looks like this:
aimer bien to like eh-meh byah
apporter to bring
coûter to cost
à emporter take out ah om-por-teh
faire des courses to run errands
A memorize session should look like this:
$ memorize vocab.tab
aimer bien: to like
Correct! [eh-meh byah]
apporter: to bring
Correct!
coûter: to cost
Correct!
à emporter: take away
take out [ah om-por-teh]
faire des courses: to go grocery shopping
to run errands
$
Flashcards may have a "third side", which is displayed together with the right/wrong message (see above for an example).
The current implementation doesn't permit effective long-term memorization of terms. Future work will require implementation of the Leitner flashcard system for effective information acquisition.
