aced.session — booting study engine

Study is a video game
now — for anything you want to learn.

Paste any notes — a chapter, a whole course, a random Wikipedia page — and ACED turns them into a roguelike you'll actually want to play. Hands, blinds, jokers, and runs, with your material woven in as real questions and confidence scoring. Miss one and it comes back on a spaced schedule.

Forget you're studying. Chase the next run.

Two ways in — pick whichever you're closer to.

I HAVE SOMETHING TO STUDY

Paste anything — class notes, a textbook chapter, a language deck, code snippets, trivia. Term: definition lines or Q&A pairs work best. ACED turns them into cards and weaves them into your next run.

I JUST WANT TO TRY THE GAME

No notes needed. Run the free 60-second demo — hands, blinds, jokers, and confidence bets exactly the way they work in a real study run. Bring your own material anytime.

Want to see the engine on something concrete? The library has ready-to-play example packs across a bunch of subjects.

inside one run

The game and the studying are the same loop.

DRAW
  • Each round has a blindBLINDyour round's score target.
  • Draw eight cards and play poker hands for chips × multiplier.
  • Spend winnings on jokers that bend the rules in your favor.
CONVICTION
  • Before banking a hand, bet LOW / MED / HIGH.
  • Read it right, it multiplies; misjudge it, you pay.
  • The self-read is fun even with no study content at all.
STUDY (WOVEN IN)
  • Load a pack and playing a hand asks a question.
  • Answer right to bank it — your conviction becomes how sure you were.
  • Misses come back on a spaced schedule, hardest first.

Play free with nothing loaded, or drop in your own material and the same run builds real recall. Missed questions resurface via spaced repetition, and a career ladder plus daily objectives keep you coming back.

why it works

NOT ANOTHER 'POINTS-ON-FLASHCARDS' APP.

  • Most study apps just put points, streaks, or badges on top of quizzes.
  • ACED starts as a game you'd play anyway — blinds, hands, jokers, and runs that can stand alone.
  • Your material isn't a separate mode — it's woven into the core loop as questions and confidence bets.
  • The dopamine is real: to win runs, you have to remember your content.

ONE ENGINE, ANY SUBJECT

WHAT IT IS
ACED is a study-game engine, not a subject-specific app. Give it a set of questions or notes and it runs the same roguelike loop — hands, blinds, jokers, spaced review — on whatever you loaded.
WHAT YOU BRING
Anything you can write as short pairs. Class notes, a chapter, a syllabus, flashcards you already made, a Wikipedia article, code snippets, vocab lists. Paste, upload a PDF, or point it at a link.
WHY A GAME
Most study apps put points on top of quizzes. ACED starts as a game you'd play anyway — then the winning move happens to be remembering your material. The dopamine is real because the game is real.

YOUR NOTES STAY YOURS — HERE'S EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEANS.

NOTES PROCESSING

Pasted text, PDFs, and Word files are parsed entirely in your browser. Nothing you paste or upload is sent to a server, and nothing is used to train any model.

STORAGE & RETENTION

The deck the parser builds is saved on your own device in local browser storage. Optional email sign-in only syncs progress metadata (XP, streaks, deck IDs) — never your note contents.

CONTROL & NO STREAK-GUILT

Delete a deck or clear everything from the library at any time. No punishment for missing a day — streaks celebrate consistency, not shame.

Bigger uploads and optional AI deck-generation are coming later as a paid upgrade. When they land, we'll spell out exactly what leaves the browser and let you opt in per deck. The core game stays free.

Get in early.

One email when big features land — AI deck-generation from a topic name, bigger uploads, and new game modes. No spam, no streak-guilt.
