AnkiArcade is an add-on with multiple mini games, progress bar, pomodoro timer, and more. This is a prototype add-on that I personally developed for the open source flashcard app Anki. if you become a Patreon, you will get early access to Prototype. ( It's not related to the official Anki)

2. [ Sound Volume ]

[ Sound Volume ] The volume of background music and action effects can be adjusted in the Sound tab. If it is distracting, try setting it to 0.

3. [ Progress bars ]

 [ Top bar ]

[ Top progress bar ] This is the largest chunk of the review cards. When all are filled, all of today's review cards are complete.

 [ Second bar ]

[ Second progress bar ] A small chunk for each card. This number of chunks is the number of chunks in the top progress bar.

[ Second progress bar: chunk ]  The number of small chunks can be changed in settings

"Cards -> Target card values".

[ Second progress bar ] Current setting is 10, so reviewing 10 cards will fill the second progress bar.

[ Top & Second ]

[ Top & Second progress bar ] For example, if the number of cards due today is 80, and the small chunk is 10, the large chunk is 8.

[ Top & Second progress bar ] Small Chunk can be set to a maximum of 100. If the cards due today are 1300, and the small chunk is 100, the large chunk is 13.

 [ Third bar ]

[ Third progress bar ] Third progress bar counts 10 seconds per review.

[ Third progress bar - Speed Focus mode] This third progress bar is compatible with Addon's Speed Focus mode, which answers automatically. If you turn it on in the settings, the number of seconds in the progress bar will be the same as the number set in the speed focus.

4 . [ Pomodoro Timer ]

[ Pomodoro Timer ]  The progress bar at the bottom is the Pomodoro timer. Click on a character to count 25 minutes.

[ Pomodoro Timer remaining time ] While the Pomodoro Timer is counting,  the remaining time is displayed in the menu bar.

[ Pomodoro timer : glows green ] The character glows green while the Pomodoro Timer is active.

[ Pomodoro Timer Settings ] The Pomodoro Timer time can be changed in the settings. Minimum 1 minute, maximum 1 hour.

5. [ Break Timer ]

[ Break Timer ] Break timer can be activated from the menu bar. The default setting is 5 minutes.

[ Stop Break Timer ] This break timer can be interrupted by right-clicking.

[ Start Break Timer ] This break timer can be started in three different ways.

• 1. Start from the menu bar. 
• 2. When the Pomodoro timer is done.
• 3. when the target number of cards has been completed.

[ Start Break Timer - Pomodoro timer done ]  The setting to start the break timer when the Pomodoro timer is done is located under the time set for the Pomodoro timer. The default setting is off.

[ Start Break Timer - Target number of cards done ] The setting to auto start the break timer when the target card count is done can be found in the advanced settings on the Card tab. Enable "Advanced" and then enable "Start break timer after target cards count is done". The default setting is OFF.

[ Break Timer - Hide Anki ] When the break timer is started, there is a function to auto hide Anki by put it into the taskbar. The default setting is OFF.

[ Break Timer - Fade in/out ] There is a fade and fade out function when you hide Anki. But this function may not work outside of Windows. (I have tested it on Mac and Linux and it causes flickering.)

[ Break Timer - Speed Focus Mode ] If you use speed focus mode, there is a problem with the card auto advancing when you hide Anki. In this case, activate the setting to auto stop speed focus. This setting can be found in the Other tab, under Advanced.

6. [ Card status ]

[ Card status ] The material on the right side glows according to card status.

• [ New card ] Bright blue
• [ Learning ] Blue
• [ Review card ] Green
• [ Relearning ] Red

[ Card status - Line thickness ] Line thickness can be adjusted in the settings.(0~10) If you set it to 0, it can be hidden.

7. [ Review or All Cards Mode ]

[ Review Cards Mode ] By default, the progress bar advances only with review cards. New or relearning cards will not advance even if you answer them correctly.

[ All Cards Mode ] Then, when all of today's review cards are done, start counting all new cards and relearning cards.

[ Toggle Review or All Cards Mode  ] This function can be disabled by unchecking "Count only review cards at first".
