Gamify

Gamify is an Emacs package that will turn your ordinary, boring day-to-day Emacs experience into something awesome! Well, not really… You can use it to track your soft and professional skills developement while keeping you motivated to do stuff such as your Org-Mode tasks and enhancing your productivity.

Installation

You can use use-package together with quelpa to install Gamify directly from this repository:

(use-package quelpa)
(quelpa '(gamify :repo Idorobots/gamify-el :fetcher github))

Alternatively, copy all the .el files into a directory in your Emacs load-path and optionally byte-compile-file them.

Customization

There are quite a few variables to tweak:

• gamify-update-interval - number of seconds between mode-line updates.
• gamify-format - format string used in the mode-line: %T - total exp point you own, %XP - “level-bar” percentage, %xp - focus stat percentage, %Lc - current level name, %Ln - next level name.

• gamify-default-exp-delta - default exp delta used by gamify-some-exp.

• gamify-rusty-time - time in seconds, when your skills are considered “rusty”.
• gamify-stat-level - an alist of exp values and level names for your stats. Defaults to Dwarf Fortress-esque skill set.
• gamify-org-p - tell Gamify wether to gamify your Org-Mode tasks, or not.
