GPLFlashCards

About

GPLFlashCards is flashcard like application that sits in the Windows system tray and periodically asks you a question from one or more customizable lists. Great to prepare for quizzes, tests, exams, or just to use as a learning and memory tool.

Features

  • You can set the amount of time between each question 
  • Questions are asked in a random order and none are repeated any until they all have been asked.
  • Small and unobtrusive.  It quietly sleeps in your system tray and take almost no CPU cycles during most of its operation.
  • Questions are stored in plain text files with a specific format.  That makes it easy to add your own list of questions.

History and Future

This VB6 application was written for my own use to memorize astronomy facts.  I decided that others might benefit by it and decided to release it as open source under the GPL license.  I do not plan on growing this application further.  I may make updated versions available periodically to include bugfixes and any user supplied features.
