Nope, I just mean that I increased the 'life' bar.  Nothing significant.. D::
It doesn't assemble, it doesn't disassemble and it only affects one session on my machine and nobody elses...

It's a lovely study tool... I just didn't realise there's a peaceful revising mode before I started using it :o

A million apologies Destiny, I just got a bit concerned before and reacted in a suprised way.
Yes, I have added a few cheat codes in the program as these helped me test out the program before I released it. It saves me the time of trying to get the bar to the top, it is very hard and I can barely do it.
Here are some of the cheat codes I added:
 "john jack jill" causes bar to fall to the bottom
 "thefamousfive4" forces bar to the top

Plus, sorry for making the program a tad confusing to use. I should try to make it more simple, add a help file or remove some un needed features in future builds. :)
Thanks for pointing that out.

No, please don't be sorry :) I realise that the word hack has extremely negative connotations (as I learned from my english language analysis SAC) Cheatengine is a game program, it can be used to locally and temporarily stop timers counting down in the same way it can be used to preserve infinite health on a game. Now I've found the revising mode, there's no need to use such a cumbersome and pointless method.

Might i suggest a progress monitor. Like saving all progress to show day by day improvement and progress. This can be done by saving results in a local SQL database.

This way they can have an accurate recording of what they are doing, when and for how long which really gives them an indication of how well they are going.

Seeing a tangible improvement greatly improves motivation and determination.

Makes what was going to be tedious rote learning, a bit more interesting.  Cheers

This is a program I made to help people learn their table of ions (electrovalencies). It is a quiz based game with a bump up timer.
Learning your ions is very important for the examinations as you need to know the symbols and charges in many questions.

Thanks, I am glad this has helped. This has helped me so much back in high school, so I thought hmmm, why not see if other people can benifit from it also.

I will be updating the interface soon. Making it more simple and run faster on slower computers. Hopefully I can it done in time for the next year's students.
