What is MemOink?
MemOink was originally a side project I created to help me learn German more efficiently.
After each German class, I found myself forgetting newly-learned vocabulary words quickly.
To combat this, I developed a simple "type the word" game where I could upload words I learned in class and test myself on them during my commute home. While the memorization aspect of the game worked well, the uploading process was time-consuming. To solve this issue, I created a straightforward admin system to streamline the uploading process.

After many months and cups of tea, MemOink evolved to include a user-friendly UI, front and backend, a logo, characters, a user-handling system, and daily stats. There are still many features I have yet to add due to my limited free time.
What are "Oinks"?
I chose the name "Oinks" for the currency of my MemOink's economy because I have a fondness for pigs. Pigs are intelligent creatures, and I find the sound of their distinctive "oink" to be quite pleasing. To me, the sound of "oink" also evokes the idea of saving money.
Thus, I thought it would be fitting to use "Oinks" as the currency in my system. As players earn points by playing games, they also earn Oinks that they can use to unlock more games. By unlocking more games, players can learn faster and more effectively. While most of the games are still in the planning stages, I believe that the Oinks currency system will incentivize players to continue playing and learning.
