A personal fork of CollectQuest by Florent Baris — an Anki gamification add-on incentivizing consistent SRS through collecting various items, completing quests and leveling up along the way.
Changes in this fork
Most notably:
- New features:
- Dungeons — additional adventures that are found and progressed in by reviewing cards
- Milestones — long term goals & rewards to strive toward
- 28+ new items to collect
- Changes:
- Quest objectives are fitted to the player's profile rather than same for everyone
- Revamped bonus stats — mechanics that are more intuitive and scale better with new items and other bonuses
- Revamped difficulty options
- Reward rebalancing
- Many UI refinements
- Fixes:
- Properly working streak counting and its reward payout
- Fixed bonus stats — some items' effects actually did nothing
Refer to the changelog for details. Changes in this fork begin with version 2.0.0.
Migrating progress from the original add-on
- Back up your progress first. This is the
collectquest.json file in Anki2/<profile>/ directory. Without a copy there is no way back to your pre-fork progress.
- Disable the original add-on.
You can keep your existing progress. Your level, XP, gold, gems, collectibles and prestige all carry over, and daily quests are quietly swapped. There is no need to start from scratch. The one exception is a save from a very old version of the original add-on, which this fork can no longer read; it gets renamed out of the way and you begin fresh, rather than it being overwritten.
Going back to the original later works, but the quests it finds will be ones it doesn't recognize, so they sit unchanged until the next day rolls them over.
Player guide
The game is designed to be minimalistic and self-explanatory, and it tries not to distract the Anki user who just wants to be motivated to do their reviews consistently. While it is simple on the surface, various underlying mechanics of the game can get quite complicated. If you're curious, hopefully everything you'd want to know is written out in the player guide on the wiki.

Code is also available on GitHub. If you find a bug or have an idea for improving the game, feel free to open an issue. I'd be happy if you do that first, rather than immediately leaving a negative review.
