Study Stack

Requires Java. StudyStack helps people memorize information about various subjects. StudyStack displays a stack of "virtual cards" which contain information about a certain subject. Like flashcards, you can review the information at your own pace discarding the cards you've learned and keeping the ones you still need to review. Unlike traditional flash cards, each card can show multiple pieces of information; and the whole stack can be automatically sorted by any one of the pieces of information. Also, when you enter the data for a studystack, the same data can automatically be displayed as flashcards, a matching game, a word search puzzle, and a hangman game. You can also create your own or finish an unfinished stack. StudyStack.com is a hobby of John Weidner
