About This Software

Customize the text and background colors!

Note: You can bring up the digital keyboard anytime by holding the Windows key + Cntrl + O. If using a language not on your physical keyboard this will help you see where the symbols and letters are located. Copy with CTRL C and paste with CTRL V

Note: When you want to add or change cards in any deck you've already made simply click on your saved .txt file. It will then open in a text editor such as Notepad.

Set in settings how many correct answers it takes to delete a card and how many cards you want to work on at a time. How many wrong answers does it take to restore deleted cards? How many deleted cards are restored when that number is met? Or should cards not restore at all? 

Welcome

Thank you for considering Retro Elimination Flashcards. We currently have three modes for users to play.

1: Regular Flashcards (These show the hidden side of the card when you press Enter. You can type in a guess before revealing the answer. This is a great mode to use if you don't want to have to respond exactly as the hidden part of the card was written.)

2: Multiple Choice Elimination (This mode gives you four possible answers to choose from. Correct answers delete the card, while wrong answers restore a random card.)

3: Type Response Elimination (This is like mode 2 but you must completely answer from memory. Capital sensitivity can be turned on for an extra challenge.)

Flashcards cannot currently contain image, video,  or sound.

What is Retro Elimination Flashcards?

Retro Elimination Flashcards feels like something that should have been made a long time ago. With features like saving flashcards as text files so that you can make copies and keep them wherever you want such as on the desktop, on a flashdrive, or both! Making cards that have a follow up question after the question, or changing the colors of the text and background. These felt like they shouldn't be new and yet I couldn't find anything like it; so I decided I had to learn programming and make it myself. My goal was to make a flashcard software that can be customized to meet the needs of any user.

Description

You can choose Multiple Choice or Type response. By default you work on five cards from a deck at a time, but you can change this number to whatever you want in settings. If you get a card correct it deletes and a new card from the full deck goes into Cards in use, replacing it. If you get a card wrong it stays in Cards in use, and you can expect to see it again soon. Capital sensitivity can be turned on or off but is off by default.

The display side of the cards can be changed to back side. Cards can have a follow up question (Two part cards). Two part cards are only counted as correct if both parts are answered correctly. This software is customizable but by default correct answers delete the card and wrong answers restore a random card unless all cards are already in use. Card restoring can be turned off if unwanted by changing Minor Set Back to Off.

Minor set back can be changed to restore all cards or any number of cards but restores one card by default. Minor set back can be set to trigger after a certain number of wrong answers but is set to one by default. You can have many different customized settings saved at once, just load the save file and play!

Keep in mind!: Alt Code (It's Unlikely you'll ever need to know this, but I feel it should be explained for the few of you that do.)

In the above image look at the apostrophe in my answer and the apostrophe in the correct answer. They are not the same. If you get a question correct but the software says it's wrong then at least one character is different between your answer and the correct answer. In the above image I got the question wrong because one apostrophe was typed by holding ALT while typing 0146( ALT code) and the other is from my keyboard. (I also didn't capitalize Ihnen, but I was playing with capital sensitivity off so that's not why I got it wrong.) This is only a concern if you copy and pasted flashcards from a place that used Alt code. if you typed the cards yourself you'd know you used Alt code.

(Some Alt code is not supported on Windows 11 terminals like the smiley face for ex. ☻♥☺(Therefore it's not supported for this software on Windows 11.) On Windows 10 if you want to study smiley faces go for it. ☻♥☺ You can type anything on Windows 10. Unfortunately, they removed support for some alt code on the Windows 11 terminal. The Windows 11 terminal also doesn't come back up on it's own after saving or loading flashcards. You have to click on it at the bottom of the screen because it stays minimized.(It ignores the code I wrote that tells it to go full screen) This is shown within the first minute of trailer number 2. The Windows 11 Terminal gets the job done but it's a downgrade from 10.

Future Improvements

Estimated times for new content and other improvements. I will update these estimations if I get behind or ahead of them.

• Language translations for menu navigation - Currently working on this as well as support for more languages with typing the flashcards.

• Release of Firewall Defenders and Grow a Deck - 8/28/2025- This will be a large update that will make Retro Elimination Flashcards largely both Console Application and Windows Forms software. Firewall Defenders is going to be an arcade mode where you help Mauk the groundhog, and Micro the robot. You must work together to prevent Megro's goon from breaching the firewall and taking down the cities defenses. Grow a Deck will start you with a card from your deck and grow to the number of your choice. Each time you get a correct answer streak equal to the the amount of cards you currently have a new card is added. When you reach the number you had set at the start of the game, the deck you grew is deleted and more cards are pulled from the full deck.

• Image, Video, and Sound being able to be in flashcards - 11/28/2025

• Alt symbols on win 11  -  Some Alt symbols are not supported on windows 11. They seem to have dropped support for them on the new terminal. I will figure out a work around when all the other content is completed. Thank you (I wrote that Windows 10 is the recommended operating system because the terminal on it was perfect. Why they downgraded it for 11 is a mystery to me.)
