Overview
rnkup.gg is a gamified learning platform built like an RPG. It brings structured courses, active recall, spaced repetition, quizzes, AI assistance, study games, focus tools, and community features into one consistent learning loop.
Its pixel-art world is not decoration added after the learning system. Progress, quests, ranks, achievements, and characterful feedback make effort legible, while the educational foundation keeps rewards tied to meaningful actions such as recall, practice, repair, and reflection.
What We Built
- Learning platform: Courses, lessons, notes, highlights, assessments, certificates, and learner progress.
- Active study tools: Flashcards, tests, quizzes, Topic Blitz, match, gravity, crosswords, and spaced repetition.
- AI assistance: Tutor conversations, explanations, practice generation, and study-material transformation.
- Gamified progression: XP, levels, ranks, quests, streaks, achievements, and unlockable rewards.
- Focus and wellbeing: Timers, goals, reflections, mood and sleep logs, and routines that support sustainable study.
- Social learning: Profiles, comments, study groups, live rooms, organizations, and teacher workflows.
