It appears that some of the courses I was studying have disappeared, so perhaps the points I earned there were subtracted

P.S. I like this kind of playfulness, like a game.

7shi Whoops! XD

Thanks! ^_^ I have high hopes for that part of the site! :D

BTW, do you know which courses disappeared? I don't think I've recently deleted any, but I could've had a bug…

7shi

neoncube I think maybe three of them disappeared. I remember the following two, both about letters.

https://app.memrise.com/community/course/1319590/syriac-script/
I was learning this intensively.
https://app.memrise.com/community/course/146801/laos-alphabet/
I almost didn't do this one because it was a pain to type diacritical marks.

FYI: Removing diacritical marks in JavaScript is easy.

function removeDiacriticalMarks(s) {
return Array.from(s.normalize("NFC")).map(ch => ch.normalize("NFD")[0]).join("");
}

7shi Ugh, I think something went horribly wrong :/ I'm rerunning my script, and it's happily reuploading hundreds of English speaker courses for Czech, Maori, Swahili, "Other language", etc., which must mean that those courses were somehow deleted, as you mentioned.

Yeah, sorry, I haven't gotten to diacritic handling yet 😅 My hope is to provide an option to let them be required or not.

7shi

neoncube Thank you. I understand.

neoncube

7shi Yeah, sorry 🙁

Let me see if I can implement the auto-learn mechanism really quick, so you can easily relearn the vocab that was deleted 🙂

neoncube

I just checked my backups, and the courses were there two days ago and then gone yesterday (as you probably knew! XD)

I've still no idea what would have deleted those courses, though :/

neoncube

@7shi Done! 🙂 https://forum.mylittlewordland.com/d/53-auto-learning

7shi

neoncube Great! This is exactly the feature we need.

neoncube

7shi Sweet! ^_^

In the future, I think it could be useful to add an option to fully auto-learn words, too, so that people could specify how long they'd like it to be before they see the auto-learned word pop up for review.

neoncube

Ooh, that reminds me: I need to set the minimum review time to 15 or 30 minutes, so that words aren't shown as being ready for review as soon as they're learned.

7shi

I finally paid off my debt!

neoncube

7shi Haha, nice! XD I was wondering how long that would take! XD

7shi

Is there a description somewhere how to earn the "stick", "rock" and "gem" and what to do with them?

I assume it's linked to the orchard and the 'goalpost'.

Just seen items to buy 😃

It makes a bit more sense now.

neoncube

BTW, I'd love to eventually make it so that there are different themes for the village, depending on what language a person is learning 🙂

7shi

neoncube Amazing!

When I heard that, I imagined some sort of social networking game where people gather their friends and form alliances.

neoncube

7shi Haha, that would be pretty awesome! XD Learn words to gather resources and help your alliance!

neoncube

I've reworked the site so that when courses, words, etc. are deleted, they're marked as invisible, rather than truly being deleted. Hopefully this should make it easier to undo mistaken deletes 🙂

(In programmer terms, I'm "soft deleting" them 🙂 )

7shi

neoncube Thank you. Now I don't have to worry about debt. 😎

neoncube

7shi Congrats on breaking the yolk of debt! 😁

7shi

DW7 I am not sure of the details, but I repeated Learn and Review continuously.
