Forks can add features or work in a different way. Read the description before you change to another version. Fork detection is incomplete, so other versions can exist.
Turns Anki’s preview window into a slideshow, providing a fork of an existing slideshow add-on.
Turns Anki reviews into a focused momentum game with question/answer timers, protective streaks, optional audio and controller feedback, Time Boosts, and tools for flagging slow cards.
Auto-reveals each card's answer after a per-card delay computed from visible word count and difficulty, never grading, with pause and calibration options.
Enables hands-free Anki reviews by using a webcam to detect head and hand gestures, with customizable gesture-to-action mapping, sensitivity settings, recalibration, and optional camera preview.
Creates one filtered deck per tag under a parent deck, with configurable limits, ordering, preview or rescheduling, optional automatic unsuspending, and Browser tag selection.
Creates unordered lists whose items display in random order on each front-side review, using a toolbar button or Ctrl+Shift+U on highlighted text.

2. Click "Preview" to open preview slideshow window

2. Check/Uncheck "Random Seq" to activate/disable random sequence
3. Click "||" button to pause slideshow
4. Click "|>" button to continue slideshow or go to next slide
5. Use tag like "slideshow_Xs" to indicate showing answer for X seconds
(no time tag for question)
for example, "slideshow_17s" for 17 seconds
6. Use tag like "slideshow_audio_replays_X" to indicate replay audio X times before going to next slide
(no audio replay tag for question)
for example, "slideshow_audio_replays_17" for replay 17 times
7. Use tag "slideshow_aisq" to indicate question slide is same with answer slide and answer slide should be skipped.
8. To show external media like mp4, jpg, gif.

b. Put the file path for the external media file there like "D:/somefolder/myvideo.mp4"
c. Root forder can also be set in settings. Like setting it to "D:/somefolder"
then "Slideshow_External_Media" field can work in relative path like "myvideo.mp4", "sometype/blabla.png"
d. With root folder set, if you want to use absolute path accassion occasionally,
put "$$" before the path, like "$$D:/somefolder/myvideo.mp4"
