What is Retro Elimination Flashcards?
Retro Elimination Flashcards feels like something that should have been made a long time ago. With features like saving flashcards as text files so that you can make copies and keep them wherever you want such as on the desktop, on a flashdrive, or both! Making cards that have a follow up question after the question, or changing the colors of the text and background. These felt like they shouldn't be new and yet I couldn't find anything like it; so I decided I had to learn programming and make it myself.
Description
You can choose Multiple Choice or Type response. By default you work on five cards from a deck at a time, but you can change this number to whatever you want in settings. If you get a card correct it deletes and a new card from the main deck goes into CardsAtATime replacing it. If you get a card wrong it stays in CardsAtATime and you can expect to see it again soon.
The display side of the cards can be changed to back side. Cards can have a follow up question (Two part cards). Two part cards are only counted as correct if both parts are answered correctly. This software is customizable but by default correct answers delete the card and wrong answers restore a random card unless all cards are already in play. Card restoring can be turned off if unwanted by changing Minor Set Back to Off.
Minor set back can be changed to restore all cards or any number of cards but restores one card by default. Minor set back can be set to trigger after a certain number of wrong answers but is set to one by default. You can have many different customized settings saved at once, just load the save file and play!
Future Improvements
Estimated times for new content and other improvements. I will update these estimations if I get behind or ahead of them.
Release of Firewall Defenders and Grow a Deck聽- 6/28/2025 - Firewall Defenders is going to be an arcade mode where you help Mauk the groundhog, and Micro the robot. You must work together to prevent Megro's goon from breaching the firewall and taking down the cities defenses. Grow a Deck will start you with a card from your deck and grow to the number of your choice. Each time you get a correct answer streak equal to the the amount of cards you currently have a new card is added. When you reach the number you had set at the start of the game, the deck you grew is deleted and more cards are pulled from the full deck.
Improvements in Navigation of the games menu聽- 8/28/2025 -All the improvements for this are: The game not always opening centered on the screen. (Just drag it to the center until I fix this.) When building a deck of cards the count starts at zero.(This is because it technically is card zero in the array holding the data. (Programming talk)) Having to load Cards and Settings each playthrough, even if you are using the same cards and settings again. The game minimizing and not coming back up on it's own after loading or saving a file. (The game stays at the bottom of the screen until you click on it.) Modes two and three dont have a way to exit, instead you have to either finish or close out. Mode one has exit by simply typing exit. (I couldn't do that for mode two and three because if you have a card where the answer is exit then exit is multiple things.)
Language translations for menu navigation聽- this will likely need to be done one language at a time. I can't yet estimate how long this will take.
Image, Video, and Sound being able to be in flashcards聽- I can't estimate a time for this either, I can only tell you it will happen after language support.
