*A PHP implementation of the SM-2 algorithm.*

About
-----

[](#about)

This is a library created by me to try out popular tools such as Travis, Packagist and Composer, as well as setting up a library structure and enhancing my understanding of test driven development. While being a test project for me, the library is still completely usable and could be used by any database of questions and answers to implement spaced repetition in an application.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Calculate the interval in which to repeat an item after the n:th repetition based on an E-factor.
- Calculate an E-factor for an item based on the old factor (or no factor) and a response quality.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Memorize is installed through [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md). Run this command

```
composer require abijahkaj/memorize

```

Or add the following to your `composer.json` file.

```
{
    "require": {
    	"abijahkaj/memorize": "1.*"
	}
}
```

The algorithm
-------------

[](#the-algorithm)

SM is a family of algorithms made popular by the SuperMemo software package. The Memorize library implements the complete [SM-2 algorithm](http://www.supermemo.com/english/ol/sm2.htm) in PHP. The `SM2` class handles calculating repetition intervals and E-factors. The `Card` class handles flash cards and how many times they have been virtually repeated. Finally, the `Repeater` class handles actual repetition of a `CardQueue`, deciding which cards to repeat first and if they have been repeated successfully or not.

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

Run PHPUnit with `$ phpunit` in the root directory.
