Not yet on PyPI
You can also pip install the PySimpleGUI Applications that are in the PySimpleGUI GitHub account. The GitHub versions have bug fixes and new programs/features that have not yet been released to PyPI. To directly pip install from that repo:
python -m pip install --upgrade https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/psgflash/zipball/mainpython3 -m pip install --upgrade https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/psgflash/zipball/mainNOTE - the sample flashcard files and images are not currently pip installed. It's best to clone the repo at this point since you'll want to edit the flashcard files and use your own images
Create a flashcard file
The format of a flashcard file is each card is on a single line. The line contains:
filename,text_answer
Here's an example that's included in this repo
Inv003.png,C
Inv006.png,C♯
Inv009.png,D
Inv012.png,E♭
Inv015.png,E
Still very much in progress. I coded it up specifically for my own use. The code is tuned to match the images that I'm using. Next step would be to look through the images and find the sizes and scale as needed. Maybe setting for target image size. Or it could be part of the flashcard file itself.
You may need to edit the code to meet your needs. It's rather simple code.
