### About
Anki is an application used to take advantaged of [[Spaced Repetition]] through an algorithmic approach to flashcard memorization.
By itself memorization without context and rooting in established knowledge is like a headless horseman, you'll get lost because you cant see where you're going. Anki has a minimalist and simple interface which lends itself an atmosphere of business and actual use. Anki can handle a variety of input from images, audio, fill in the blank, and more.
Anki is very useful, cross platform and can be used on Windows, Linux, MacOS, and iOS. The syncing across platforms is effortless and effective.
### Card Types
#### Basic
Shows front then the back
#### Cloze Deletion
hides a chunk of content on the front of a card
the back is extra material shown at the after the missing cloze is shown on the front of the card
#### Image Occlusion
each shape hiding a piece of the image is a "card" and you can have the settings for it to hide all "Cards" and ask for you to guess one, or hide only that one and guess it.
"hide one guess one" or "hide all guess one"
#### Custom Card Types
##### Fill In The Blank
This is my very own Custom Card Type
`{{front}}` asks the question. There is no special syntax like [[#Cloze Deletion]]: `{{c1::answer}}`
you type in the answer into the entry field and it is checked when you flip the card
`{{back}}` is purely the answer, the typed in response
`{{Additional Info}}` is just additional info about the card besides the checked text
### Learning Programming With Anki
## Anki Obsidian Plugin
### Workflows
#### Folders
all notes containing cards in a folder get sent to a deck
#### Linked notes
each note has a linked note that contains all the flashcards for that note (keep main note clean)
using `target deck` and `file tags`
#### inline cards
mix cards and notes (messy)
using `target deck` and `file tags`
as well as the inline tags
#### 1 way sync
1. make your cards
2. sync them to obsidian
3. delete the notes now they're in Anki
### Note type Table
lets you use a custom [[Regular Expressions|Regular Expression]] to determine your cards
or show context of your notes to custom fields in your cards such as a link to a file and/or the location exactly in the file where that note came from
### Folder Table
lets you choose a specific folder and determine what anki deck all cards in that folder go to, as well as what tags those cards get
### Syntax settings
![[Pasted image 20210103142419.png]]
Start and ends are obvious, the `I` is for incline cards on a single line
`target deck` sends the cards to a particular deck
if you have nested decks you can access them with the same namespace syntax as C++ or R for package syntax's:
`parent::child`
