This repository contains a python script, test.py
, which
can be used to help memorize long-form text.
By placing .txt
files in the local directory, and running
python test.py
, the script will be able to read the files
and test the user on them by displaying blanks.
The user will have to first choose a file, then a difficulty (1-10). The script will then create a test with blanks according to the difficulty. A difficulty of 0 will display no blanks and a difficulty of >100 will display all blanks.
A testable file is a .txt
plaintext UTF-8 encoded file.
In order to make a word something that will be tested,
it must be in the following format: {{word}}
.
To supply hints, you may include something like:
{{cat|meow,animal}}
, which will display meow
as the
first hint and animal
as the second hint. Otherwise,
hints will default to the word spelled out with increasing
numbers of letters (i.e. c
, ca
, cat
if supplied with
{{cat}}
).
It may often be the case that you would like to test all
of the text in an outline. To do this, use the regex
replacement in helpful-replacement-regexes.txt to replace
all words word
with {{word}}
.
Examples provided: gospel.txt
, mohl-1.txt
, mohl-intro.txt
Use by running python test.py
in the console, or for a local server, run python app.py
Place # shuffle-points
on its own line before a block
followed by # shuffle-points-end
in order to shuffle
all the lines within when generating the test.
- Handle different terminal sizes and text with many lines (beyond the terminal height)
