[sword-devel] Open source DuoLingo

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Hi Vladimir,

I've updated the lesson selection to suck a bit less and fixed the 
problem when a lesson quiz was getting stuck toward the end when only a 
few cards were left to master.  Same link:

https://crosswire.org/fc/app/

The source for our flashcards facility is here.  There is much more in 
that repo than just the quizzer that I introduced a few days ago.

https://crosswire.org/svn/flashcards/trunk/

The new quizzer is under the www/ folder.

You asked about a web application, and there is a web application 
available under the web/ folder, written in JSP.  The new www/ folder 
was started from this, but is purely html/js/css now, with no server 
backend required.  This allows the www/ folder to easily be turned into 
a mobile application which will run on both iOS and Android without 
changes using something like Cordova.  That is my current projected goal.

I hope that makes sense.  There is the beginnings of code to look in an 
audio/ folder to allow the user to hear the words.  That would be next.  
I might try to first investigate using some kind of text-to-speech 
service via Google or Apple.  That won't give us Erasmian pronunciation, 
but if you talk with a modern Greek studying ancient languages they mock 
us for our pronunciation anyway :)

Would love any help or suggestions.

Troy
