Subject: Drill mode for org-learn
Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 05:26:08 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20100730T071518-886@post.gmane.org> (raw)
I have nearly finished a basic "drill mode" for org-learn. It works a bit
like Anki/Mnemosyne.
When invoked, it scans files for topics which either have the tag :question:,
or have the LEARN_DATA property (set by org-learn), and which are either
unscheduled (ie new) or are not scheduled in the future.
It shuffles them, picks a random subset if
'org-learn-maximum-items-per-drill-session' is set, and presents them one
by one. The user presses a key, then presses a key 0-5 to rate their
recall. 'org-smart-reschedule' is called for every reviewed item at the
end of the test.
Example topics which it understands:
1. The body under the heading tagged :question: is shown, with the :back:
(ie "back of the card") subsection hidden.
* Greeting Q1 :question:
What is your name? (informal)
** Answer :back:
¿Cómo te llamas?
2. A card with both a front and a back. One side will be shown at random,
with the other hidden.
* Noun :question:
** Front :front:
el gato
** Back :back:
the cat
3. Cloze deletion. Text within SINGLE square brackets is obscured
with a special font.
* Grammar rule :question:
To form an adverb from an adjective, add [-mente] to
the [feminine] (gender) form of the adjective.
I have a slight problem however. I don't know how to "record" headings so I
can revisit them later. I need something like:
(org-map-entries
(lambda () (push (org-save-this-heading) headings))
"" files)
(dolist (heading headings)
(jump-to-heading heading)
...)
Saving the buffer position does not work because each call to
org-smart-reschedule alters the contents of the buffer.
If/when I solve this problem, I should be able to release this code.
