A flashcard app for drilling spellings of words

A flashcard app for spellings of words based on audio recordings. Press Tab to toggle to "teacher" mode where you can add words and record audio for them.

This repo is an example of a Freewheeling App, designed above all to be easy to run, easy to modify and easy to share.

Getting started

Install LÖVE. It's just a 5MB download, open-source and extremely well-behaved.

Run the app using LÖVE.

Hacking

To modify it live without restarting the app each time, download the driver app. Here's an example session using a different freewheeling app:

Some reference documentation on how to create your own apps.

If the app being modified by the driver lives in a .love file, your changes will go into the save directory. If it lives in a directory (like this repo), your changes will go straight into the same directory.

Keyboard shortcuts

• # to toggle between teacher and student mode

In teaching mode:

• ctrl+n to add a new word

Exclusively tested so far with a US keyboard layout. If you use a different layout, please let me know if things worked, or if you found anything amiss: http://akkartik.name/contact
