Moon-Jumper

Moon-Jumper is my cognitive improvement site. I consists of three components:

• Moon-Jumper Quiz
• Moon-Jumper Journal
• Moon-Jumper Dual N-Back

Development on this project has been on hold for quite some time, but I would like to get it moving again. The first step would be to re-deploy much of it using GhostMVC.

The next step is to build the quiz from scratch (again) this time incorporating the concept of 'done' and of spaced repetition. http://www.wired.com/medtech/health/magazine/16-05/ff_wozniak?currentPage=all http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition

Dev Back-Log

• New Quiz

• Bulk quiz add
• View quiz for edit/add
• Edit question in quiz
• Relinquish quiz
• Curriculum Tables (1 curriculum table, 1 update to quiz table)
• Add Curriculum

• Daily Training mode
  • If card backlog is not too big and quiz backlog is not 0 and last memorization > 5days ago, do memorization, else, do training.
  • If memorization, load quiz off backlog and set tier
  • If training, set timer
• Add reminder to homepage to register or respond to registration
• Create the homepage "Make Me Smart" button
• Add homepage reminder to add quizzes and curriculum to quiz backlog

Journal

• Add entry
• View and search entries
• Quick add
  • Enable/Set hash
  • disable
  • Submit to quick add
• Encryption
  • Set encryption code (and enable encryption)
  • If encryption key is entered, confirm with pass-phrase, encode (automatically) and submit the form.
• Create a journal multi-add page that shows you the last entry and provides entries for up to the last 3 days.
• Add encryption to multi-add

N-Back

• Port over old code
• Re-record letters
• Swap out Flash sound with JavaScript sound (see Zombie game)
• Get save statistics working
• Show progress graph

Finalize

• Daily training button
• Journal entry on front page
• Email registration reminder on front page
• Re-skin the site (maybe get some help)
  • create a 'demo' page that shows all elements on the site
  • Re-skin from there.
• Tutorials
• Feed-back
• Get accounts working (phone, email)

Consider changing the names of the 3 apps to reflect how they help the brain. 'Journal' => 'Tracking', 'Quiz' => 'Memorize' and 'Dual N-Back' => 'Fluid Intelligence'.
