Hi Tones, Sorry I did not see that you had replied until just now.
I had seen that Larry Sanger had created a kind of spaced repetition tool for practising programming tasks <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mgrdg1uwDeA>. In short it displays a short programming puzzle, then will automatically create a file and open it up in a text editor for you to complete the task. When you're done you can run it and it will confirm that you go the correct output. It can then be rescheduled so that you will see it again at some point in the future. It saves a new file for every time that you complete a task, so you can look at any of your previous answers. Anyway I was just wondering to myself how much of this could be recreated in TiddlyWiki, and the first thing that you would need to be able to do is create a file for whatever language you are using, and open it in your text editor. It would also be good to be able to easily view the older versions of a task from within TiddlyWiki. I'm not actually planning to make something like this right now, it's more of a 'possible future project'. I was just curious as to whether or not it would even be possible. I'm certainly interested in any thoughts, ideas, or other solutions that you have.
