I couldn't understand how this package works...

Hi!

I installed your package and tried to use with a simple task

According to this blog, more or less this is the configuration of each task.

* TODO test :coding:
:PROPERTIES:
:gamify_exp: "50"
:END:

However, I'm just getting 0.0 in the mode-line.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks for your help.

Best.

Ok, I did some progress.

The gamify file was filled with all this stuff

;; -*- emacs-lisp -*-
;; This file was generated by Gamify.
;; DON'T CHEAT, that's gay.

But thereafter, I can't execute gamify-start again

After reviewing a little your code, the problem is with polymode

If I disable poly-org just before mark the item as "DONE", then the gamify file appears as excepted (I think so).

;; -*- emacs-lisp -*-
;; This file was generated by Gamify.
;; DON'T CHEAT, that's gay.

(setq gamify-stats-alist '(
("coding" 50 1700613685.29488 nil nil)
))
(setq gamify-achievements-alist '(
))
;; gamify ends here

Hi Maikol, Looking at my gamify file it seems that fontified names are present. I do have a customized modeline setup for gamify and don't use the one provided by default so that probably is at fault here. Removing fontification before the skill is added to the file should be fine though.

[Idorobots]

I made it defontify the text when ingesting it initially. Can you please check if that solves the issue for you?

[maikol-solis]

Thanks! The package works much better now.

To start using this on the daily-basis, I created this dummy function just to add experience points to my items, according to your .emacs.d.

You can generalize for the package if you like:

(defun gamify-add-exp-to-item ()
    "Add points to item at point"
    (interactive)
    (let* ((level (completing-read "Which level has this task?"
                                   '("Easy" "Medium" "Hard")
                                   nil t))
           (exp (pcase level
                  ("Easy" (gamify-assign-some-exp 5 2))
                  ("Medium" (gamify-assign-some-exp))
                  ("Hard" (gamify-assign-some-exp 30 10)))))
      (org-set-property gamify-exp-property exp)))
