Make OpenTeacher fun to use!

Registered by Marten de Vries

With version 3 OpenTeacher becomes one of the best programs for learning words and other stuff, but at the moment it's pretty serious, compared to e.g. Teach2000 (smileys, game mode) and ludem (slogan: School is just a game!, however that project isn't in a final state.)

So, what can we do about it? Let's use this blueprint to track progress on this developments until we have more concrete features for which we can open separate blueprints (closing this one)

Ideas:

- Game lesson mode(s). More specifically, let the user play a game, but pause it sometimes to ask a question. (Maybe after an accomplishment?). This way, it's not only fun, but also an argument for using it if your motivation isn't that high. The game's fun enough to continue learning (i.e. not switching to another app), but it forces you to stay learning (not remaining in another app to long) at the same time.
-- panda 3d race game? (Quetz: http://code.google.com/p/quetz/)
-- "That's the question"

- Custom progress views/teach types (e.g. smileys like in Teach2000, hangman, maybe show the testViewer progress graph already during the lesson?)
