# Update Nov 26th 2021: Completion prediction - a new feature!
# Update Dec 3rd 2021: Date Reinforcment - Win earlier completion dates!

I had to have some way of knowing when I will complete the study of a course using GlideCLI. So I made this feature that will tell me!
I thought it would be more reinforcing to see how many repetitions I need to complete the predicted date. Then I thought it would be cool to see if I could win an earlier completion date!

I had to invent a way to calculate difficulty, because I could not find that research document on the Easiness Factor, until after I had written this program. I knew that the calculation of difficulty had to be constrained between these values inclusively, (1.3, and 2.5), and the image of a sloped line on a graph, intersecting y at 1.3, and x at 0, just popped into my head. So I applied the point slope formula to calculate difficulty, and it works perfect. So perfect, that difficulty does not need to be re-calculated for every repetition. It only needs to be calculated on the first repetition. If you look at the pdf file that I linked in the about section (https://github.com/Dartomic/GlideCLI/blob/master/Docs/Manual.pdf), I go into great detail to explain how difficulty is calculated there. Although, it is very simple. I just wanted to be as detailed as I could be so that it is understood how it is more accurate than the research article's version.
